Premium Member Destinies Child Chained
Searing flames within hissing steam burns 
letting the dragons out in frozen time 
cold stone winds blow into the desert sands of illusions etched

Dark and feral holding immeasurable promises 
held captive under those that are never completely met right
freedom and forgiveness denied cries from an...

Nature's Beauty, Our Vanity So Shames

Nature, deepest  hues set to color life
life its temptations, bringing moral strife
strife, its agony he can not ignore
ignores, so doing denies, all the more.
More as he himself, huge treasure demands
demands as...

Winged, winking devils dance
on onyx tinted wings entice
burnt appendages so broken inside rib cage

Unable to fly out of this hell hole
a shadow lifted nevermore
a touch as cold as night lures steel cuts
knees buckle, locked down
nowhere to run from

Rusted chains tighten
each new link pierces,
digs deep the...

Chained Heart
Chained Heart

A life buried from the past
living tormented present,
childhood innocence betrayed
darkness invades her freedom

Indescribable pain
Indefinite grief
Inevitable loneliness
lies, her blanket of misery

Kisses shared from dishonest lips
Promises she never keeps
Sorrow crawls to veins
pumping vengeful blood

Married with evil thoughts
Killing forgiveness' hopes
her eyes can't shed more tears
Praying a cursed...

Premium Member A Knight, Chained
This subtle dance in smallest tendons
And tiniest of contractions,
In littlest of words.

Minor C, disclosed in me in
tapping of ten digits
on my sheets.

When they dance in, and straighten,
Lift me so high, I smile...
Upright posture.

Ink flows in, -in colours inimitable
by any wild palette-
and out again.

Arabesque in a...

Chained To This World, Chained To My Fate

Chained to this world, chained to my Fate.
I want love, sadly feel it is too late.

I see beauty of Nature's speckled fawn
Yet feel not glory of soft-rising dawn
Life is a battle, never been my friend
In all my nightmarish...

   "CHAINED"



imprisoned by choice
scars and bruises my cell mates
death follows future
abuse is a life sentence
the force of love keeps me jailed.

walls enclose vast view
no-one knows my secret hurts
hears sobbed silent cries
abuse degrades human soul
escape holds no path to run.

invisible bars
contain emotions red ......

Whimpers of a Chained Heart
Strange how I met you
In a world where I have thought
That unspoken love abound.
Simply realized
Just how empty life had been
Till I look right through your eyes.

Thenceforth can’t forego
Shivers, they’re all that you bring
Oh, what a magical thing.
Vivid memory
Your smile was carved like a scar
Lingers to...

Premium Member Chained
A soul so chained it dragged the weight
Through the graveyard to the vast estate
Into a life money bound  
Pretensious living their great crown
Money their god and baptism
Soul chained by materialism
No longer life of the party
Caught between life and death..bungee
Chained soul needs an exorcism
To free...

Premium Member Chained Dog Song
Jack Russell sings sharp—
two barks for each passing bike
he would love to chase.
Droning wheels tease and roll on
from chained dog’s staccato song.

DEVIL ON THE RUN Lucifer Satan Chained Placed in the Lake of Fire

Devil on the run;
Devil on the run;
Demons spit and howl;
Crying to their master;
In pangs and in the spirit;
You don’t wanna go near it;
Demons dwells;
Demons sell;
Sold their eternity for hell;

Devil on the run;
Devil on...

In It,  I Saw Prometheus Chained And Bound


I was reading Salinger's, "Catcher In The Rye" 
A follow up from Leo Tolsty's,  "War and Peace"
I heard a voice say, "seek wisdom before you die"
Remember this, courage was a mainstay of Greece
And dear ole Mark...

Chained In Love
My woman wants to make me believe
That other girls are bad and can deceive
She wants to see me not talk to any
She wants to see no text from angie
Angie is just my friend
She says that friendship must end.

My woman wants to make me believe
She is...

The Slave Maker
You slithering obsession;
You creeping vine, wrapped round progressive centuries,
Til kings and rebels and dreaming men
Become as lackeys,
Following your trailing, withered leaves.

You visit men in midst of night.
Your comely form mirrors fates unbidden to light of day.
Rise up - - oh Men!
But you, sheathed in shimmering...
