Best Bind Poems

A little girl
She comes to a land of ghosts
Almost empty streets
She wonders
Where are all the people
No one here looks like her
Within her heart
Emotions stir

It is so cold
Foreign 
Lonely
Where oh where, is the mountain of gold
Her mom and dad they are so bold
Pioneers
Adventures
People of action
Not of...

poor puppet dances
to the tune of her master -
he’s pulling her strings!

I Got Scars, Invisible Chains That Tightly Bind

I got scars, invisible but O' so, so deep
Never say never, heart slashed enough to weep
There the darkness came ravaging a broken mind
I got scars, invisible chains that tightly bind
And an epic loss that can any man destroy
When...

I never saw a tie that had a practical use;
And I never knew why a man would want to wear a noose.

There are as many good reasons for wearing ties
As there is for cultivating mosquitos and  flies.

To cover up buttons is a  use...

Secrets should always be easily shared.
Interaction rather than causation, 
Unbridling the soul of all ties once aired.  
No need for vigilant calculation,
Intent on seamless communication.
Just being with others in the moment,
A genuine, life-giving, bestowment....

Chains, so heavy. Binding every body part.  
A cell: its cold metal bars blocking out light.   
A wall, originally meant to protect, now a barricade nothing penetrates.
A net, once safety, now entangling, strangling.  
A trap, caught with no one to rescue,...

YOU'VE GOT TO BE MISTAKEN, YOU MUST BE WRONG!!!
I cried so hard, for so long
Only seven, 
I’m too young to be an orphan
I remember it, as if it were like yesterday
When they took me down to the parlor
To identify my parents’ bodies

Here today, gone tomorrow
Less...

Have you ever pondered your existence?
To see what life is really all about?
Let your mind wonder out in the distance.
Think about life and beginning to doubt.
Realize what holds you back and begin to shout.
Break the chains that bind us and go on through.
Knowing the owner...

Let The Music Play On

When I am melancholy 
And feeling, all alone
I place my violin 
On my shoulder, like a phone
Then start a conversation
In melodic overtones
and every string that speaks to me
Brings me closer back to home

I can smell the coffee brewing
There're hotcakes on the...

The chains that bind me are soft as silk, 
Gossamer to the touch, so thin you wouldn’t think they could hurt...
They seem no more than mere bangles, 
Jewelled manacles adorning throat and wrists and ankles
They don’t grate on my skin, barely fray the edges of...

(Rebuilding Our Lives)


All who have truly lived… 
Have, stood behind many walls; 
Some had unforeseen bobbed-wired fences
Placed there, by unusual circumstances…
Where it appears, that one may seem to be forced 
To react in the unnatural form of ones inherited nature. 

Our souls having been imprisoned...

The Ties That Bind Sever Time


This time and that time and more then once our blood was a code and not it lost the times have changed the earth reshape the hearts redone and the minds have escaped.The love we shared the time we had...

glad 
in crux 
near the gloom
that light nudge me
when it gets anxious 
concerns that might leak out 
my burrows are firmly couched 
not a fiend nor a darling star
they thrust as the night sky gained their sight. 
yet, both sorts score their way to my...
