Best Restraint Poems

I learned from a dreamer to imagine…
                               To put myself in places I would never...

Wide-eyed and nerves clenching,
I await the vacancy that fills the page
As eraser smudges and blackened lead
Sear through stanzas left for dead

Leering on the verge of lines,
I hear the symphony come to a halt
Captive sounds unravel the thread
Burst at the seams like words unread 

Jaw-slacked and...

Sitting in a reserved preoccupation,
Counting down the hours until the bus pulls into the station.
Consumed with an agonizing anticipation,
To once again be flooded with green fields of consumption.

The smell of a scent that is intoxicating,
The taste of sweet cream that is exhilarating.
The sight of flesh...

Tied me down one night
Like I belonged to you
It turned you on when I told you
I'm Nobody's fool

Tied me up in your room
On a rainy day
We had both been drinking
You said you wanted to play

I couldn't hear a thing
Couldn't feel, couldn't see
When you were Deep...

Tell me your stories.
How fickle they are.
Bring me your troubles.
As I bandage defined scars.
Ruthless friend,care only for self.
Put my feelings upon your shelf.
What more can one give?
Impossible trait.
Deal yourself your own maniacal fate....

though the two 
held in their extreme
horniness, there was
no hiding that look in
their eyes---that one
where the want to tear
off the clothes of 
said hot body was
one which brought
them carnally back to
the roll in the hay of 
their ancestors &
for a minute, there
was no doubt between
the...

Used to keep certain things to ourselves
   Restraint
We kept the dirty laundry on the shelf

Knew when to button our lip
   Restraint
We didn't let dark secrets slip

Rightfully condemned the tale-bearer
   Restraint
Pitied the heart-on-his-sleeve wearer

With 'restraint' now a curiosity of the...

The vortex path into my soul, mirrored in projection
On the outside looking in, a window of reflection
Disabled by an art of choice, a blinding writ emotion
Reading the essence of your voice, then hearing your devotion
The canyoned crevice of our minds, grow deep with indecision
Bridging gaps...

wanting what cannot be had,
wanting to satisfy 
raging desire,
wanting to throw it all to the
wind &
join the club with 
id,
twisting & turning into
oblivion---
but consequentially,
the conscience comes
bearing down &
forces one into a place of
cruel restraint,
where the body is well aware
that the possibilities are 
endless,
but the mind...

Upon our first meeting, fear ran to my fingertips.
Within a few choice words,
The tingling became the titillation of lust.

You opened a door, its hinges rusted,
its boards warped by time.
The sirens in my soul sang to me, warning of the danger
yet luring me to walk with...

A LILY bit me -- how could I pluck it?...

Dust motes spiral round,
Filling attic sunlight's rays
Try not to disturb...

I’m going to each of my suitemates' rooms. One at a time, methodically. I pause, for dramatic purpose, until I have their full attention. Once I have it, I rushingly, excitedly, breathlessly say, “I’M getting pizza later, for the GAME!” Like a seven year old...

Who only Honor can, must never Love!
(And Yet, he Loves, all hidden and unspoke!)
Who hath Heart sworn to Holy Spirit Dove,
Can never break what must remain unbroke!
Yet words a-tangle mesmerize him, still!
They speak in echoes and tangential cries.
They do not dare the sacred chalice to...
