“I am I” by Thomas Typewriter – a new poem

poetry

Snap

The clock hands overreach

The moment changes

I am a broken thing am I

Out-of-sequence sunsets

Darkness summons double-agents

Surrounded on all sides

I cry. I curse. I crawl.

But

I continue. I channel. I conduct.

Silver friends mist, what is your face

I am not alone am I

Bless you music

Always by my side

Louder. Faster. Jubilant.

Verse chorus verse shields me

Melody steadies me

Rhythm propels me

I am a glorious motion am I

-Thomas Typewriter

“A Steamy Shower” by Thomas Typewriter – a new poem

poetry

Life as a cloud of steam

A puff

A vapor

Sliding past my fingers regardless of  grip

Tighter fingers

Softer fists

Unconcerned participation

Concentrated efforts

Leaving behind not the larger

A small beading of wetness

A fleeting heat

Leaving behind a mirror with no reflection

-by Thomas Typewriter

“Soil, Sun, Showers” by Thomas Typewriter – a new poem

poetry, Uncategorized

It is a shame we can not plant our emotions in the ground

Like a seed, press them away and down

Let the world deal with watering and nurturing our feelings

We are poor caretakers of the self

We’ll return when the flowers bloom

To smell that which is sweet

And that which is scoured

_by Thomas Typewriter

“Mice with Lice” by Thomas Typewriter – a new poem

poetry

Mice with lice

All that can die

Better they shine

No refunds for overtime

Larger than patience

All that can design

Move the conveyance

Mettle the temperance

Maze. Mustard. Rye.

“A Rock In The Mud” by Thomas Typewriter – a new poem

poetry

The rock sighs heavy thoughts

Disappearing into the mud

Lower than known

Minerals in stone

Down, Down,

Past where the bones dissolve

And as the distance adds

Always failing

To realize

The gravity of the situation

-Thomas Typewriter

“What self” – a new poem by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

A beautiful thing 

Yes, a beautiful thing

Sits alone on a shelf

Wondering,

Pondering,

What is my true self

When I find 

To my voice, 

To my charms,

All are deaf

-Thomas Typewriter

“A Grammar” by Thomas Typewriter – a new poem

poetry

A small voice struggles

To say words of old

There is much to say

In languages of yesterdays

A grammar of coincidence

A small voice rumbles

To shout words gone cold

Moments make letters

Like snowflakes in winter

A grammar of incidents

-Thomas Typewriter

Collapsible by Thomas Typewriter – a new poem

poetry

In every action

In every choice

I am unsure

I’ll collapse

Folding in on yourself, Supernova in reverse

In every thought

In every feeling

I am unsure

I’ll collapse

-Thomas Typewriter

Commuting by Thomas Typewriter

poetry

I was born to fly

Is a phrase married to

Why can’t I move

Building homes in the small spaces

Where headlamps kiss brakelights

sunkissed danish

Holding large parties where

More cars join the turtle dance

Of stop, stop, go

-Thomas Typewriter

“Hello Again” by Thomas Typewriter – a new poem

poetry

Hello again from the other side

The signal is clear

The signal is strong

Do not turn from our invite

We know where you stand

We know where you fight

So what do you say?

Shall we have a conversation tonight?
