Poems without meaning
1.
Music with no words
war with nothing to lose
tension paired with caviar
poison spread with a butter knife
light from dead stars
misplaced memories
a species with amnesia
roads to nowhere
fast moving
sensless noise
mindful mischief
an unnamed game
high price of entry
no prize money
a box filled with expired love notes
remember to feel
forget about the pain
find what you’re looking for
or look for what you’re finding
house of mirrors
sleeve of aces
no bulletproof vest
full tilt
downhill both ways
2.
I wrote a poem with no meaning
had a staring contest with the devil
she blinked first
I laughed last
made love with a witch
taste tested the potion
too salty
saved room for dessert
burnt a hole in the bible
patched it with mud
built a wormhole to paradise
missed my flight
moved in with a stranger
wrote my own eviction letter
signed it in piss
taped it to the television
but never plugged it in
got confuse by the process
found serenity in the sand
a puzzle with a trillion pieces
two missing
tried some fast math
passed with flying colors
flew too close to the sun
heat treated my wings
the phone rang
swatted back to reality
