Best Extricated Poems


Premium Member Unarmed
Why am I here
Sending words out into the universe
Disregarding or abiding by poetic rules
Being judged or discarded
What would I lose if I disappeared
I have a nom de plume
So a puff of smoke is not required
To erase me from existence 
But I am a name
And I...

Premium Member The Essence of Love
My veil falls to my feet
I am at my most vulnerable
yet I lose my shyness easily in front of you
as your eyes acceptingly savor me.
I am in awe
of my ease of presence
and of your hunger of my being
in spite of my perceived flaws.
What do you...

Premium Member Efflux of Eternity
Up the incline of delicate dale of the verdant life,
blazing the curved canvas of the sensuous sky,
rising from the hollowness of the halcyon horizon
the shimmer of sun's spectrum slides on passion. 

Cascading down the contours of valley of dream,
the sparkling lonely stream meanders mesmerized
across the...

Temptation's Touch
TEMPTATION'S TOUCH
-----------------------------
His palm soothes the ridges
Furrowed in her starlight skin
Her masseur, he replenishes
Each and every aching extremity
The chiming bells of his strokes
Ring again and again
Summoning her to his lair
Collaged in deep affinity
Her rock solid attraction
Draws her savory soul
Into a lustrous world
She's never seen nor known
A...

In the dark I see you clearly
Images your hardly 
Ever share with the world 

Why be gentle in the dark
When others think you are hardened

That your emotions 
Were extricated at birth
Two complete opposites
Gentle versus rough

Stone faced 
With signs that if you smile
In the daylight
Your face...

Premium Member To the Sable Side of An Iago-American Mirror
Strange, yet a reality none the less:
the oppressed destroying themselves 
for the sake of the oppressor.

The battle of creatures of the sea
has now become that of the humanity
of the conquered land.  A bizarre misguided
catharsis born out of guided mind bending
of victims killing selves for...

The Foreign Plant
I was once a seed 
A seed wrongly rooted
A seed away from home 
A seed on a craggy Mountain 

An alpine plant once told me,
“You are not one of us.” 
My two month old self 
Knew none of that 

Winter arrived shortly after 
Layers of...

Premium Member Renovation After a Narcissist
"Renovation After A Narcissist"

(Sometimes a vagrant sneaks past the security of one's heart.
When they are discovered, they must be made to depart.
First, beef up security with more guards put in place,
Then thoroughly disinfect until there is no trace!)

Now that I have recognised the toxin in...

A Blinded B47 Pilot
A Blinded B47 Pilot

It was another aviation accident case
That had happened at an Air Force Base,
Except this one was more complicated; (Not Top Gun)
From plane, who would pilot be extricated.

Several facts about the case we did find;
Turns out some way he had become blind;
By a...

Pulled From the Abyss
Assuming… cold…
An abyss of extricated lies
Squeezing out like bile from your brain
I can’t breathe when the voice of yours
Is so edgy…so rock hard
As if my life is but a layer over you
That you can break and manipulate and BUILD UPON
I cringe—I turn into a statue...

Mistreated By the One I Love
She was the love of my life
But was never much of a wife
Which caused a whole lot of strife
Her hatred cut through my heart like a surgical knife
Once full of life now praying for a change in life
The love faded as the hate invaded
My thoughts...

Premium Member My Invocation As Your Dear Heart
Extricated from chains of religious fanaticism
Here am I, your dear heart*, blissfully exultant
Freely exalting the gracious Redeemer
Whose compassion reached out to your soul
Pardoning you against everlasting condemnation.

Quickened toward great revival from lukewarm fellowship
Here am I, your dear heart, triumphantly rejoicing
Adoring worshipfully Almighty God 
Who marvelously...
