Best Restricts Poems

Religion binds us in guilt

Using sins it restricts

Religion with its dogmatic doctrines

Feels the need to control everything

Demands we worship at their feet

Expects supplication and blind belief

Encouraging you part with cash

Like that will bring redemption back

No matter how devoted you may be

It doesn't stop them judging...

In a loose-fit pink dress, she crawls through golden fields
The stems’ graceful sway in the breeze such pleasure yields

Muscular degeneration restricts mobility
But the illness did not impair Christina’s sensitivity

From his window overlooking the Olson farm
Wyeth’s heart was touched by this frail woman’s charm

Each strand of...

Storms of the soul invade my perception
Yearning for a personal resurrection.
Fragmented emotions dangle from each new face
Leaving me in an empty place.
Fires once ignited grow rapidly dim
Because of the sin that dwells within.
Phantom lovers drift in and out
Claiming to know what love is all about.
`Bruised...

Toys Are Us
By Cody Brandon Turner


Sweating and tired
Heat hovering over my skin
This day has got to stop
The only question I ask is when?
Parched and dehydrated
It’s too much to take
The sun is beating down on me
Like a bully in the sixth grade
My mouth is drying
My skin...

The fable of the two snakes in the grass

There were two snakes in the grass, 
buried in the pit of life, 
now bemoaning their past, 
with hisses, coils and strikes
she constricts 
he restricts
venom spewing out
she thwarts his advances
and he thwarts hers
stubbornness seeding,
in the pot of...

As the molecules expand in air 
from the roots of the cold ground 
to the warmer the branches where they bond 

then it rain cool upward side
down the trunk to the roots because the underside of the branch bow up with pride 
as it provide...

Moldy feet of clay
Wearing smelly moldy feet of clay,
as purity walks slow away,
the attraction of the  pity curse,
a lady solves the verse,
but is she here to play?

Unsent bewitched beguiled I say,
a bird transfixed by serpent gaze,
struggles weakly in the haze,
something in her mind has...

Prologue
This,  Sir, is the prologue from before our tale begins
About the day our father did succumb to mortal sins
And left behind a man who would succumb to fame and plonk
A man born of no earthly...

What can I do? I’m helpless
Witches are stuffing my brain with straw
Pernicious thoughts raining spurious angels-
Sons of bloodsheds, their beautiful faces
Wait for a cab sailing to perdition.

My organs are atrophied as head swells
Like a big bug, spreading its wings and ejecting
Bad fumes on the inebriate...

The cellar is his bleak repose,


in concert with the cockroaches and flies;


there he wipes his runny nose,


toils the day long, sunshine tries,



insinuates through rough and crumbled boards.


Lessons can't assuage his conflicts,


the bottom of the pile, his heritage affords


no more, the atmosphere restricts 



his breath. It...

Plastic, weak, never entered my wildest of imaginations
Leather was present in fantasies of all natures
Food was exciting but hunger would prevent the further
Whips sound too, too painful but a close cousin to pleasure
Bondage without physical pain and the torture of mind

Before us the meek restrained...

Death takes the
insecurities out of
the living
They say things get
better
If you stop fighting
the anger goes away
The tears simply dry
up
A sheet of ice
freezes over the
emotions
Leaving you numb
But broken
Storm clouds hover
amongst the stars
Waiting to creep
back in

Time moves slowly 
But still it moves
The further I get
from you
The more it...

Freedom
Degradation, demoralization
Doom, destruction, decadence
And the masses still cry ’Freedom!’
None of this even makes sense
Free to live out every feeling
Every thought and every dream
This will better life and people
Well at least, so it may seem
We should be the freest spirits
With no one to answer to
Life will...
