Best Unburdens Poems


Premium Member A World Without Songbirds

To lose our songbirds would be so tragic,
for their tunes hold a special magic.
And nature’s music unburdens the heart, 
providing ebbing souls with a jumpstart.

The robin's chirp heralds the melting snow,
as the goldfinch serenades the meadow.
And in the spring, flocks of chickadees sing,
nesting near houses to rear their offspring.

Blue jays and nuthatches tweet from the trees
as woodpeckers rat-a-tat-tap with ease. 
And crimson cardinals tweak overhead,
while tufted titmouse whistles are widespread.

When hurt descends from the tree of life and

The stepladder breaks straight onto your pain

A trampoline turned jo-jo strangles creeping ivy

Entangles in trapezes and dreams of surrender


Pick me up where I have buried my wounded soul

Uncover my darkness and cradle my weeping heart

Mind gaps’s emotions and feelings of rational thought

Transcend into vibrating light of balance and harmony


At the bottom of searching for circles’ impermanence

Rests a rusty wheel barrow that nestles a garden of love

Sheds a load from my shoulders and unburdens torment

Fallow fields harbour seeds of regrowth and compassion

Premium Member Writing Poetry - the Alliance Acrostic Style

~Writing Poetry~
(Alliance Acrostic)


W-hen I write just let my imagination soar n' sometimes to places unknown this way I go
R-emembering that the sky is the limit and that writing is wonderful
I-ndeed, I just love it when I get inspired
T-ensions and problems seem just disappear when I am writing all my poetry
I-t gives me joy to write in many styles
N-aturally for me writing is fun, keeps me alive
G-od is great! Gave it to me.

P-oetry is like a song, enlivens and unburdens my soul
O-ver anything I can write. Poetry is a wonderful gift
E-njoy poetry
T-ry to write in different styles and forms.You'll see how much fun you can have too
R-ead poetry and as many books you can and just write a lot everyday too
Y-ou can have lots of fun n' be happy you can write better,the more that you practice it everyday.

The Goodness of God

The Goodness of God

God is a good God.
He’s the provider of a righteous way.
Omnipotence of power - a magnificent display …
To instill insight and define a pathway where he ascribed his Apostles to 
     provide the guidance of today.

The Lord is the keeper of my belief and faith.
He tells me a mountain is to climb once made.

God is a good God where he’s the animal in the jungle of mankind's 
     wicked ways.
He will defeat Satan from stealing the glory made.
All-powerfulness embrace the demons gave where he removes this from 
     the body and the soul is saved.

The Lord is the seeker of my belief and faith.
He is sentient to my spirit and unburdens me each day.

God is a good God.
I worship him daily.
He is my soul fulfiller, my spirit made.

Two Hemispheres

Two hemispheres wrinkled by the past – 
profound inheritance of bygone generations.
And if they sleep – in dreams out of the dust 
beasts in the light appear in creation.

The Good looks at itself into a looking glass –
it cannot see the troubles come –
out of the mirror The Evil looks at last  
and to Eternity it goes to dine.  

Two hemispheres are a mass of contradictions,
you cannot find a way lost in the dark,
in searching dashes Soul for sweet religion
and to the Beast she just unburdens heart.

Premium Member No Primus Inter Pares

No Primus Inter Pares

Germans at the Costa Brava they just cannot yield
‘Brava’ the fight and they are conquering once more

Always the first on the beach or the striped deck chair but
The towel goes right up front and then they have breakfast

They claim their place in the sun and colonize the pool
I’m not a racist am German myself light skinned at dawn

Prejudice Discrimination Stereotype or double innocent vision
When too much sun meets a squinting eye of any beholder

Ready with parasol and sombrero and not enough lotion
To make sure I blend colourfully in and pretend I am native

Ingenious maybe but indigenous nowhere near but at my home
Not first under equals just one of the travelling circus’ crowd

I stake my claim forget all about physics in diabolical parable
Parabolic distant same old points and lines but when will I learn

That the sun scorches at high noon whatever I attempt
That horizons only widen when travelling in much truer fashion

Far and further afield immersion in less indifferent ventures
Brings me closer to peace to my own roots unburdens my search

I’ve seen the Taj Mahal under a midnight moon shadow absorbed
The Grand Canyon looked for precious Yellow Stone wisdom

Pyramids at Giza tear gas at Tahrir Square caves in Cappadocia 
Never setting sun in Rovaniemi Omaha Beach and trenches in Belgium

I took local busses towards nowhere with no imminent return
No plan no target no defined ambition not steps merely ticked

Call me a voyeur in slums townships or favelas a frotteur with no towel
But I was made welcome once I shed my emperor’s colonial clothes

My luxury problems became smaller when I returned to the start
The gifts of the present the past and my very privileged future

One way or another I cannot and need not shed European origin
But my Universe has become less ignorant and a bit more unsure

The Unknowable Origin of Voice

Pen scribbles incantation 
As the writing reveals itself suddenly
Reveling thought unburdens its borrowed code
Bodies dance to release their outpouring presence

Humanly, we wait
A readership to hawk the landscape
And trot out footsteps in koans

As in dreams, I drift
Authorial indeterminate 
Nouns now shown as shackles-
Verbs take the crown
Unmistakably like Buddhist paradigm
All wood chopping simply no chopper

The self of no-self
Natures's embodiment
Writing embraces All
Soul at the beginning of whirpool

Of Affluence, of Innocence

Ah, morning greenery soothes the eyes,
caresses the mind, unburdens the heart!

        A month ago, a man of wealth and fame
        sat right on this bench and, the papers said,
        blasted away his weary, worried brains.

        Except for a note about deep boredom
        of a fully empty, affluent life, 
        of his death nothing more today remains.


        But now, from atop this same cold, mute bench,
        a bouncy girl, barely three, walks and hops
        onto the mown grass, looks down and around.

        She peers curiously and smiles at an ant
        that stumbles along with some hefty load,
        cheering it on as it crawls on the ground.

Ah, morning greenery soothes the eyes,
caresses the mind, unburdens the heart!

Unifying Theories of Love

Unifying Theories of Love

In the face of savage law
And brutal nature
The needs of survival can only be tempered
With love

This is the triumph of awareness

You
Me
We
Undivided in this emotion
Of unity

We are redeemed by the edicts 
Of love
Brings us all then
To this single banner
Its peace a proposal
Wedded to the Earth

The manifold examples
Distinguished such universal
Capabilities
Of understanding
Engenders forgiveness
To the eternal sacrament
Of the sacred pool of life

Seen within a single reflection
The countless faces 
Mirrored interactive their essence
Through the knowledge
Of heart
To procreate the messages
Written in the birth
Of love

Soil to root
And speaks of nurtures
Sacrifice and release
Of love

This clear spring well of spiritual flow
Unburdens the sorrow
Of blood
Is reunited to existent cause
Of the grace
Humility
To stand or fall
By its name

Sheath of bark protecting
Stonewall crystal
Defending
Populates every atom
Beholden
This cradle implicit
Between animal soul of heaven

By guidance
All is its want
Named in the first 
Of its love
But for the sake of love 
Loves path alters
Encompasses all the twists
And turns
Of 
Itself

Love becomes a complex simplicity 
But still suffuses
Within macro-cell
The resonance of creations
Resounding bell
Rings out the vibration
Of harmony

Tree shade
Mountain air
Sun warmth light
Glade 
Ocean
All the fruits
Of natures devotion
Without question 
Tender their presence
In love

And enfolding soothing arms
Cuddles all
To a gentle breast
The same arms that reflect
Such a savage nature
And brutal law
Tempered by the needs of survival
With love

This is the triumph of awareness

Premium Member Where a Man Can Cry

Her soft bosom
Her tender lap
Where a man unwinds ~
 Unburdens his heart
 To a sympathetic mind

Port in the storm
Oasis -- to restore, refresh
 Without strings attached
 Constricted or enmeshed

Reciprocity

Throuch  life we seek
company for our intimate absences,
Presence for our uncertainties...
We seek in others, the word
that takes us to the future and unburdens us
the hurts...
We seek company for our emptiness,
prestige for our missteps,
applause for our mistakes...
That, we seek, but almost never
We offer in return...
Reciprocity we almost always erase...
But isn't that what they're also looking for in us?
We are what we offer... this law is fundamental!

Premium Member Summer Breeze

Softly the summer breeze
Unburdens me ~
Maybe life will unfold delightfully 
Maybe spitfully,
Even tragically (if true love fails)
Remember me!

Balmy weather makes me remember
Riotous behavior,
Even though I was younger,
Eventually outgrown,
Zephyrs of summer remain perfumed
Ever after.

Where One Unburdens the Heart

ah, morning greenery  soothes the eyes,
caresses the mind, unburdens the heart:

     a week ago, a man of wealth and fame
     sat on this bench and, the papers said,
     blasted away his worried, weary brains;

     except for a note about a hollow burden
     of a fully empty, affluent life, of his death
     in this park nothing more today remains;

     but now, from atop this same cold bench,
     a cute, little girl, barely three, happily hops
     onto the grass, looks down and around;

     she peers curiously and smiles at an ant
     that stumbles along with some hefty load,
     cheering it on as it crawls on the ground.

ah, morning greenery soothes the eyes,
caresses the mind, unburdens the heart.

A Unique Soul's Love

A unique soul's love

Your love unburdens my sins.
Your care vanishes my pains.
Now disclose my gem,
What better am I to owe you?

Your kisses heal wounds of vulture's lust.
Your words lightens my dark.
Now express my dear,
Since when have you been a feminist?

Your stories make me a phile.
Your smile drives me crazy.
Now confess my dear,
Is this love or care?

No flirting, no lusting,
I feel comfortably blushing.
No confinement, no detaching,
I feel securely flying
If it's the real you,
Too worthy to lose.
