Best Barred Poems

Brain rewired
The spine of prison rattles
Hearts harden

Chomp on the bars and the bones
Of his hope

He is lost
Dreams and fears confirm his tears
Time is gone

Guilty truths
Drizzle down his swollen cheeks
“God, I’m yours. . .

Lift my eyes
For your light is my way to 
Shame my foes....

In sleep
I awake dreaming.
Outside, the air is
heavy, still and close,
and he has roused himself
to speak.

A few, plaintive cries;
do kindred roost nearby?
He knows I’m here
because I listen,
yet he discerns in me
no purpose.

Might the woods
not be the same 
without me here?
I am deaf to his
ancestral songs,
and so...

The Way barred, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s Le sens clos by T. Wignesan

Every man has to confront his own night
If he wants to continue on his journey.

At the hour and the place it chooses
(The moment when...

who tried to be a broken-heart mender.

Barred Owl

Snow-blowing
window scene
presents a forest
of bare branches
upon one of which
an owl perches,
the snow-wind flying
at its ruffle-feathers.

looking at screen-picture.
A sudden snowy gust,
and Watcher peers out
at the tree
only to find it
empty
and the owl gone...
flown off 
in a second's...

Chasing my dreams I leave no stone unturned
and I reach for the stars even if the sun burns.
No holds barred, I tug myself forward
with unbounded strength, like a ship moving shoreward. 

An everlasting love for life
I pull through bad times causing strife.
Limitless patience for I...
