Best Emancipating Poems


The Emancipated

"The Emancipated"



See all the pretty words
perched on a tongue
like singing birds

Anagnorisis from 
the Poetic Aristotle
effecting affectations 

from the fangs 
a cutting
100th monkey

Sting the truth 
like a bee sipping nectar
kissing blooming minds

masked in soliloquay
lines of perdition 
beckoning mushrooms

atomic fusion 
drunken swallows
all sing in flattering discord 

ribbons of melting harmony
red bolsheviks in their own time
tightly strung emancipating

crumbs of such simple
knowledge 
found in golden maize of Rhyme

The Cherry Orchard
It is sold
In their final days

(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

The Naughty Pen

The Naughty Pen

She loves my naughty pen
Little wonder why her bunk shook 
The last night I visited
Between the boards of her heart my verses are vast
Written with unspoken words 
Littered with love language 
Only her heart can decode 
The naughty pen’s code

She loves my naughty pen 
Because of its beautiful rhymes
The reverie of having my pen made her snore
As we snore 
I swim through her imaginations
Exploring and emancipating her innermost 
Conquering her doubts
Surpassing her body
Plowing the unknown
Building fences around her garden

She loves my naughty pen
And my pen love her I swear
But I hope she won’t stone my pen to death 
For its naughtiness
Even if she does
My pen shall resurrect on the third day
Because no stone can kill true love 

She kissed my naughty pen 
Like a mother whose child needs lullaby
Caressing my innocent lips with her wet lips
As a baby pen, I cuddled between her two tender layers 
Standing between her chest
The baby pen sucks her milk
Thus making her sobbed, saying; ‘crazy baby’
 The sand hill stood straight, pleasure mixed with imagery 
Dragging the night into an endless quest of possibilities…
Possibilities encoded with lyrics

I gave her my naughty pen the last night we met
Now, she is accusing the lyrics of my pen of being naughty
And yet, she is smiling all the way, asking for naughtier pen
Is it a crime to express my innermost feeling?
Is it a crime to build true imagery and fantasy?
Is it a crime that the mental state of my pen’s imagination is naughty?
Is it a crime that my pen loves her; and she loves my pen much more?
Much more because the frequencies of her heart beat is stronger than Rhythm FM

To my bosom friend
My naughty pen loves you
Stop acting shyness
Shyness is for the weak at heart
My pen is ready to go hungry for a century to proof this;
Ready to surmount Mount Everest for you;
Ready to blow you kisses when the night is dark and fear arises;
Ready to stand by you when the arrows of life rail at you;
Ready to cover you when the night is cold and cruel
Ready to make you feel like a woman
Ready to forgive and forgive, and forgive…
I love you….the naughty pen

The Tiny Seed Opened

The Tiny Seed Opened


Deep the ponderous silent beginning
Rumbled its struggle to
And break open once upon its lilting

And thought
It lifted high some resounding
Gathered itself by pulse climactic
Loosening
The swollen burst of its making

And deeper driven the slow light emancipating
Rising glory
The exulted splendour
Forth rushing spreads encompassing
In the eternal reaches
The heart beats deliverance
Sings joyous cries

With life eyes

“I am here !
“I have arrived !

The impassioned apex of praise
Fortissimo to the pinnacle creation
The tiny seed
Opened



Inspired by

Also Sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 

( Eng Thus Spake  Zarathustra) is a tone poem by, Richard Strauss composed in 1896 and
inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche philosophical treatise of the same name.

Premium Member Poets You Set Life Free

Let’s take a ride, how about traveling, to outer space, 
Just accept anything’s possible, it’s our cosmic chase,
Moving faster than light speed, in the blink of an eye,
Unleash your imagination, laws of physics, don’t apply,

Maybe stay closer to home, getting carried away, 
Not that it’s impossible, Probably better this way,
I bid to free your mind, open up Pandora’s box,
Some controlling egotist, may be keeping locked. 

Might think this is fantasy, I promise you not,
Keeps us unrestrained, from an imperious lot,
Rather we’d stay stupid, believe everything’s fine,
Brainwashed all our lives, left to tow the line.

Too many gaslighters, out for personal gain,
Call us troublemakers, having gall, to complain,
I am not preaching, just offering sound advice, 
Keep your independence, for life’s full of choice.

Well thank God for google, if needing a little help, 
Press a few touchscreens, a tonic within itself.
Always some caveats, beware of computer trolls,
Half decent firewall, should suffice on the whole. 

Is too much knowledge, really a dangerous thing,
Worse than owning shotguns, barely aged sixteen,
I agree in some cases, ignorance truly is bliss,
Only if comforting, from the inevitable abyss. 

Many poets shone light, on history’s darkest times,
Obscure aficionados, emancipating reality with rhyme, 
Fighting nightmarish wars, writing obituaries home,
Bleeding ink upon paper, never flinching in their tone.

Others encapsulate landscape, frozen in winter snow,
How they portray nature, this rhymster will never know,
Beautiful form of art, smashing out from all restraints,
Poets you set me free, lest my tribute is mundane.

Poetry Poem Poets For Kristin Reynolds and Dion Bess

Pain in the prophecy of wings through sultry sky
Orchestrating vision, love, destiny
Emancipating the tongue to tattle tales taloned with grief
Triumphing in truth to tumult another joy
Reel all poets in, glistening on a silver sliver of string
Yearning to for a final travail, immortality on wing.

Please God, tonight, dry her tears
Oyster her heart in your love
Eternal comforter of cares
Mystic center of the universe, a dove

Perpetual are music mustering our minds to sing
Overtones from the litany of emotions
Easeless wonder, sacrifice, oblation, offering
Tremulous thunder eastering devotions
Sweetly from the ragged anthems of our gift.

"the Prince of Tides" ~

Perspectives and points of view....

The Apostle Paul once said that if one were to look upon himself as merely that of

Flesh and Blood then, they would be greatly mistaken amid their near and far Perceptions

This battle within ones own Sightful volitions?!

For though We walk in the flesh as such, We do not war amongst these matters of futility....

Yet, rather, Our weapons are mighty unto the pulling down of Strongholds by, "Grace," given ~

And although We may tarry in this body of woe; cast unto this place and earth; Times

We are not of this world; wherein such Profound absolute "Truth," shall soon be Revealed!?

Unveilings within, the Wonderous twinkling of an eye....

No, We shall forever walk boldly Adorned in these Bejeweled Vestures; awaiting 

Faiths chalice of "Loves Promises" thus, Poured; benighted, Spirits of Righteousness

"Holy;" as then We rise from the Ashes of memory, to take hold of Immortalities

Quintessence of Perfection; Infallibly made to slay the dragons of past....

Nailed to a "Crucifix" of, Everlasting Born?!

Still, for now within part, let Us groan aside most all of "Creation," as, We hold fast unto

The "Omnipotent Caressing Hands" of; Our Destinies ~

Painted upon the Emancipating Canvas' afore ever there were but even, "One Star"....

Before the Chambers and the Beams; the Oceans, the Mountains, and, the "Dreams"

Far, far away and Beyond, the ebbs of a flowings, Once upon a time!?

Standing at the Throne; "He," They and I; "Alpha and Omegas," Crowns of "Light" ~

Hearts of Cardinal Colours; swords no more; Eternities Heirs at, "Neverendings, Door"....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...."The Prince of Tides"

Your Loveliness-Acrostic

Lost in the labyrinth of your loveliness

L ost in the labyrinth of your loveliness
O bscured obstacles can never obstruct my
V ision of your elegance and graciousness
E ffortlessly effusing and enlightening and 
L iberating my mind, inspiring my heart and soul
I ntuitively knowing and satiating my every desire
N eed and want, emancipating negativity and
E liminating all disillusioned and disquieting thoughts
S plendidly sophisticated in your stunning simplicity
S oftly and silently satisfying my spirit and soul.

General Lee

“Let us cross the river and rest in the shade of trees”
Converse like gentlemen, with our bayonets at ease
We were once brothers, declaring independence for these lands 
Now we murder one another, for the right to shackle two hands

Where were the voices, emancipating your values from skin
Taking the glory from generals, immortalized by crimson sin
Lives were railroaded, as Kansas bled into a Missouri stream
Bodies buried in the compromise, of a transcontinental dream

Was it a War of Secession, or a rebellion of recourse
Fire-eaters scorching, an abolitionist’s civil discourse
600,000 lost, tangled in the matted wool of the rancid free
One Bloody Shirt cleansed, by Sherman’s March to the Sea

Do you still hear their viscid screams, clinging to the charred air
Mottled faces crying, broken by artillery soaked fields of despair
Gettysburg shook, as corpses crumbled under death’s rolling gait
The tide had turned, but war only recognizes one ephemeral state

I have heard of leaders, speaking on the residue of tyranny’s grave
Reconstructing a widow's faith, eulogizing the sacrifice of the brave
So why do we proudly remember, how you outmaneuvered harm
Stonewalling the Constitution, before sadly losing your "right arm"

**NOTE**  The first line of the poem is a quote from Confederate General 
Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, as he lay dying from a mortal wound at the battle 
of Chancellorsville. Upon learning of his greatest commander's death, General 
Robert E. Lee somberly responded that it was as if he lost his "right arm".

Living Puppets

i once met a young aspiring poet

whose love for the art had drove

him passionately insane with the colour silver.

i met him on a street rampage shouting out his

emancipating parable of shiny silver rings

sparkling with a deep red hue ,oddly spoiling in rust from blood thirst

and out in the clear ,in concealment of human ignorance

a sinister nemesis slowly weaves his hate into ropes,

his hands of fate to stir our minds his path.

thus the pain of the living

the pain is living .

Imprisioned Mind

Swirling conscience
twirling,endless motions
infinite commuting commotion
tranquil,sweet Mother nature serene peaceful scenes 
disquieted murmur of clouded dreams
swimming with trepidation in the worlds murky sea
obviously forgetting natures high's, and beautiful trees
noisy ruckus, anxiety ridden uncivilized under sea
feeling's for emancipating for needs
beautiful, pristine of nature will agree
enticing, alluring, seductive, she wants your peace   
imprisoned mind's cannot see what beauty lies for our smothered souls too see.

Premium Member Unassailable Purity

When accidental 
auroras stroll along 
the pale highlights of
camouflaging corpses
and death blossoms
in vulturous hearts of 
dreadful puppets, 
she always holds
pixie dusts of 
strawberry seeds within 
october's obsidian quartz. 

Gaze beyond those
glass-stitched horizons, 
as she cracks the 
carmine cocoon of 
judgemental juxtapositions 
and transforms 
carbon-coated 
milliseconds to 
magenta-gold 
pronunciation of 
peaceful phrases. 
She is a silken 
cream-dove, 
floating above 
murky musings of 
redolent rhinestone-
reveries. 

As prismatic primroses 
shall cleanse every 
sin from the witching 
spellbook, she will waltz 
in whispering lulls of liberty,
emancipating from 
chloroform-stained 
chains of blood-
scented blames. 

Her sunflower-shield 
and aurous 
summer-sword of 
amber poesy
can slice spicy 
silhouettes of 
graphite goblins, 
she will never 
surrender to those 
misinterpreting
megalomaniac minds, 
who twirl along 
masquerading rivulets 
of manipulative 
assumptions. 

She is the shiniest roar
above grimoires of grief, 
like an 'unassailable purity', 
washing away 
emerald exhales of pain, 
who mutes each cosmic
raven's lament and 
distils russet-white-lilies with 
her alchemical aroma.

Premium Member Our Natural State

“free from conditioned belief 

no agenda on our shelf

vibrant as the light of Self

life flows on all by itself”
 
Love of raw self is liberating
It is a beautiful thing to esteem
Self actualization is emancipating 
Flow within it as healthy blue stream

Tis no accident you are so unique
Wonderfully and fearfully made
Whether in youth or as an antique
Soul you’re in your designated space

It takes all kind of pressure
To make a precious diamond
Often inside we feel amber alone
That’s when we can find HIM 

The Curator of our heart of art
The Potter making us pure souls 
We are the product of a gracious God
Even if we don’t really yet know

Ignorance can be a bouquet of bliss
Until life becomes bitter and sour
We then find the Creator’s holy kiss
Of love in our most needed hour

The lucky find this in yellow youth
Some discover in maturity of ages
There is no time limit on teal truth
Reflection is in our hearts and faces

When you have a cranberry calling
No agenda you surrender to nature
The path provides like pearls falling
From holy scriptures by saintly Savior 

Humbled hearts have no vanity
For fire and life has purple pruned
And despite lavender life’s insanity
We become like the flowers bloomed

So trust the Lord and His process
Life flows on all by itself every day
You are a work of His hazel holiness
Keep this fact in your heart silver safe

Rosalie

“Rosalie, oh Rosalie!
A contrast of beauty, with a saturation of rufescent 
What every heart intercepts when they have reminisces
which never transcends herself when she is mistakened of fluorescences
Rosalie, oh Rosalie!
She harmonizes one's life, with her humility of delight 
Yet her dashing aspects are remarkable in light   
For not once she palettes a stage of fright  
Rosalie, oh Rosalie! 
When she lifts the flushed rose to her blushed rubescent lips 
The curtains of the heavens began to lift  
for her chastity is for what relieves rift bids 
Rosalie, oh, Rosalie!
She enriches one’s future, 
She diminishes their past, 
She lives her present; from beginning to last
Rosalie, oh Rosalie!  
Her spikes are what prick one’s heart
So emancipating apart 
Which devotion comparts 
Rosalie, oh Rosalie!
Is she not just a hallucination of humanity's  delusions? 
Or is it just  component of revolution; 
So ruinous of this only luminescence of faith 
Or might it be something to only recall my presence  late?
Rosalie, oh Rosalie!”
