Over Simplification (Free verse) by Richard

Slivers of measure turned to shavings by a carpenter’s hand. Internal tribulations inhibited and a valid recall authorized. Ash covered eye excretion, quiescent in a cold campfire. Wrongfully purchased items returned within thirty days, The residue crossed through, an old receipt refunded. Unrequited aspiration for earlier currency possessed, Dirty though they were, now gone to another’s hand. My wallet filled with brand new legal tender, I shall carry them folded, in my back pocket. i.e. That time of us- Anesthetized, I. Cascaded tears, fallen, cold ashes their haven. For this short time together, You, a mistake, wishfully erased. I long for her that preceded you, But she has moved on, So have I… Ergo Moments, begetting Painlessness, begetting Weeping, begetting Liaison, begetting Aftermath, begetting Oblivion, begetting Recovery, begetting Mending, begetting Solace.

Take that to heart that they have realized the error of their Cliché ways. They are extending their vocabulary, trying to create the same meaning without using those selfsame words. It's a growing process.
You're making me think so don't get me wrong. But as humans we have 5 senses, 6 if you're psychic. I couldn't tell you the exact number of emotions we are capable of, but it's a finite number. More often than not poetry runs along those basic themes. But if you mean writing something new to the effect of "The French-Fries day off" or "My bicycle decided to ride me today" I'll work on it, seriously.
As far as the line goes, my favorite is Cascaded tears...

Thanks for the comments, keep up the good work Z!
