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.

Fear
I walked alone in darkness, Thoughts focused on alarm. Heart rate increased. Palms became clammy. Eyes remained alert. Breathing controlled with effort.

The Day I Disappeared
right before your eyes Just under your nose I began my demise And turned into a ghost Bit by bit I evolved Until nobody noticed

The Plagiaristic Poet Goes Wilde
The Prompt Write an acrostic using the word DISTRACTION. Read all about it here This is an attempt to fuse the Vocal Acrostic Challenge with the Titles of Stories by Oscar Wilde. There are two that I had to shoehorn in but all these are creations of the great Irish writer.

A Lonely Soul
We are in this church, To farewell a man, Who lies in a box made of Birch. From a long family of a dwindling clan. Why did she lie?

The Silence in the Pool
It was Saturday, and the pool had gone silent. No music. No laughter. No splashing water against tile. Only the low hum of vents

I'll Miss You, I said, as he headed to the door grabbing his toys scattered there on the floor To play in the yard with his friend and neighbor

this is a goodbye to who we once were young, dumb and in love, without a care in the world we decided forever and raised up two little girls

Fairytale Love
In my chambers I lay awake for a while, I was wrapped inside your magic Existing in a fantasy Was the fairytale ending you and me… I wished we could start From the beginning, Of the meeting at the party When I saw you, but You didn’t see me…. I would make it, so that Our eyes meet, With visions of ecstasy; And we would share, a tasteful energy… I’ll remember the first kiss, That happened so suddenly… Trepidation filled with admiration As two lovers building our foundation Of a never-ending love story, With a curious heart and a hopeful spirit. I’ll let fear run away as I rise into a phoenix My love shall be your cure, from a judgmental society. If only I could make this fairytale our reality…
