Best Reins Poems

I suppose struggling bards (such as I) are wont to muse
Upon profound or inane topics to propound our views.
So, it occured to me how baffling the English language could be,
To new arrivals to our shores from international potpourri.

Will he ever master the usage of to,...

When the reins of fate go slack
And the wicked wind is at your back

And you lift your head and smell the dew
And there's no one near to trouble you

When your eyes are wide
And you're ready to ride

Like a pony in the spring
Like a falcon on...

Power,
Just seize the reins,
Impose your agenda,
Tighten your grip on the masses,
Control....

Free Reins


					  For  				     plains
					        you the reins are but the

Hunger holds the reins, stimulating or stifling,
driving the plant to bend to the sun and root deep,
herding the roe deer toward unsafe pasturing;
hunger holds the reins.

An emptiness of desire unfed, ends fitful sleep 
as moon-tossed men pull threads of sanity, hiding, 
from deep within a...

We all have certain moments
That define the paths we’ll take
To spur us into action,
Even just for ego’s sake.

The realization that this life,
The only one we’ll know,
Has other options will decide
Which way we choose to go.

We don’t have many years to live
And we must make the...

Will the stars ever align the way they did that day?
When all the heavens opened up to let you come my way.
Where magic spells are cast into the hearts of only two.
And shine a light of golden hue beyond all others view.

A world of lost...

Lynching Live; So What? Trumped-Up Normality Reins

Knee lynching streamed live,
Shadowed death’s source is revealed;
Justice remains blind!

Cameras roll, showing death’s shadowed 
source.
Cameras don’t lie; streaming the truth of
live murder.
Oppressive actions of intentional racialism
unveiled;
Yet, lynched justice remains dangling on the
tree of life.

In oppression, when freedom fires flare-up,
Executive...

The seasons changed from frigid to thaw.
Deep in my heart my Jesus saw.
A need to find someone to love.
So he plucked an angel from above.

A day or two before rebirth.
He brought her down to me on earth.
We both looked lost in such a daze.
Still trying...

The Reins of Reluctance

Stashed somewhere in the shadows
Of true love and pure romance
He hides his heart and hungers
For the strength to take a chance
He hopes hard for a reason
Tries to find the circumstance
So he can finally tell her
How she has him in a trance
But fear...

Once when I was a child
My reins were held by my parents
This pony once led by their rants 

Now that my mustang is old
My reins still slip from my grasp
I go where this beast goes

Divorced from my old mare
I am no longer noosed
Years of service...

His Father on High Reins

God said I am that I am and always am
Like loud roaring lion or a little lamb
Enduring elephant who is big and tall
And an ant so small and great waterfall.

Rainbows, stars and mountains real high
Bright fireworks flying on Fourth of July
Writers...

Handing over the reins is, of course,
Very rarely involving a horse.
It’s about the tradition
Of easing transition
Of power, with no show of force.

The expression is mostly applied
When a leader is stepping aside
And helps he who comes next
Not feel lacking or vexed
With all negative feelings denied.

Yet today,...

    The dog days of summer, certainly here
    Every half-hour, another shot of beer
        Too lazy to move
        I’m stuck in a groove

You stare into the abyss, 
And the abyss stares back. 

Take a look into my mind, 
Through every little crack. 

It's dripping from my finger tips, 
It's throbbing in my veins. 

The wild inside my bones, 
Won't stay tied up in your reins. 

If I...
