Best Encumbrances Poems

(Dedicated to those who have found true love
for the very first time)



Written a ton of poems

Many of them silly, many about love

Have decades of experience

But the love I'm feeling now

Surpasses any I have ever experienced before

In my whole entire life

Free of encumbrances or prejudices

Finally able...

Oh if i had the wings of an eagle
i would swoon to pick you up
and take you to a place
i call never land
where passion is the beverage
that  parched lips taste
where scorching love cascade
never are your desires gratified 100%
they are continually foraged
upon the bed of...

IN MY HEART THERE’S A MELODY

In my heart there’s a melody
A song that must be sung
That melody is sweeter
Than when it first begun
Each day the joy increases
As that melody persists
That melody is Jesus
A melody, my heart cannot resist.

In my heart there’s a melody
I want all...

Longing for the days gone by
When cares were soon forgotten
Which now linger oppressively
Odorous, like fruit turned rotten.

Carefree were those bygone days
Random notions came and went
Imagination rambling like crazes
I was not afraid to experiment.

Days passed swiftly into years
Encumbrances kept piling atop
My eyes often filled up with...

W as it just yesterday when
I found a vestibule
R ight next to my goals
E lse something is wrong, which brings
D elineation of a moral code!

I would set the world afire with political desire to achieve and to aspire.
I am going to be a political activist...

ENTER INTO MY MIND

Enter into my mind an existential maze – a passing phase of distortion  
where illusions create beliefs and biographical misapportions.
From start to end chained to memories in cell blocks of time. 
 
Who can know the world above; the world below;...

Dad Revisited- Once More


Last night I sat up in bed and prayed a little longer,
I asked god to send dad back for just one more  day with great fervour.

Dad was waiting for me in the verandah as soon as I reached,
Seated on his cane...

whims may become a blessing or a curse
pushing one toward certain ruin or worse
drinking from the deep well of evasion
well versed in dark practices of persuasion
fixating on dreams of what ought to be
avoiding what mirrors reality

totally free of social encumbrances
in spite of what the best...

	****'s Wool *
	Written: By Tom Wright
	1/21/03
	
	Deep thoughts often dormant lie,
	In un-swept corners of my mind.
	Unless God, awakens by and by,
	"Dust Bunnies" are all I find.
	
	I seek today thoughts not oppressed,
	Not simply enticing words or frill.
	Nor as ****'s wool to be expressed,
	But thoughts worthy of ink...

Enola Gay

There on the ‘North Field’ tarmac of Tinian Island, Marianas;
Taxis the sleek designed ‘Boeing B-29 Superfortress’ to ready for take-off. 1
Glistening, polished aluminum under the blaring floodlights filmed for posterity,
Maneuvers' the ‘Enola Gay’, chosen by the pilot and named after his mother. 2
With the...

to wend through golden grasses of my past
          with chill winds at my back from o'er the hill
     oh how I wish the glow of spring would last

thus far behind me stands...

GOODLUCK

Gutless muffled monarch wooed millions to the poll, 
Our feeble lord enforced by pathetic speech of poverty (I once had no shoes) 
On congruent grounds of pain we forced him, though we hated his coterie. 
Disappointed, we wail waiting surrogate to lead to unending journey...

Suspended in perpetual animation
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
From hours of travel though inches gained
Spewed forth from the bowels of existence I stand
Before me lies the road

Like a pond turned solid by Winters touch
The road is wide, flat, smooth
No encumbrances to...

Writing is a way to speak
when minds are strong
but bodies weak
to battle very long

When no one seems to want to hear
thoughts overpowering your heart
writing can express what's dear
with honour, truth and art

It lifts your soul when feeling sad
and satisfies a hungry crave
It brings awareness never...

By Stanley Collymore

At first I wasn’t in the least interested in you. 
But then, why should I be? You, after all, 
are an unmarried and out-of-work mum 
just turned 23 and, additionally and 
quite evidently in the general mix 
of things and significantly for 
me,...
