Best Ungoverned Poems

A mysterious moan rose up from below, 
Up through the floor boards of our age.
This curious, extraordinary wail rose up, 
Becoming an ungoverned, impotent rage.

I queried this torment, this bubble of noise, 
Would it murder with a savage of blind.
Would this cry grow and envelop,...

The shadows from his younger days shake his resolve, 
and make a mockery of time 'til time be lost 
to moments of bewilderment, ne'er to evolve, 
they bounce and bluster errantly, much to his cost. 

Shades and silences, outbursts of ungoverned rage, 
cruelty breeds rancor,...

stop throbbing temple
blood pounded sight
dim daydreamt corneas
surround sharp morning light

hidden heart whispers
raging wan muffled souls
desire stoked embers
burn kiln shattered bowls

dermis flayed pilgrims
gnaw darkly smoked bones
slag dwelling convicts
flee coke crumbled clones

fly, fly away from
a wasteland of sorrows
as ash can yesterdays spill
into flashpoint tomorrows

is there only the...

somewhere I was gently cruising as I dreamed
everything I saw was magically vivid it seemed
like the color applied to a painter’s brush
slowly gliding because I was in no rush 

I remember it all and I was wearing a smile
but everyone else’s happiness was placed in...

I was a Taoist
philosophically and spiritually
metaphysically and physically
long before my Public Administration classes.

Which may be poignantly of interest
because the original Taoist teacher,
LaoTse,
taught sensory experiences
of Yang-testosterone energy
and Yin-estrogen synergy
for a bicameral governing audience
with questions about how to empower egocenters
and ecosystems
equitably,
as democratically healthy as possible,
while avoiding libertine...

I’m an unopenable door waiting to be cracked open, exposed to the natural but 
yet fresh humanity. Such an infinitesimal amount of air escapes through the 
cracks, just taunting me. Showing what I can’t have, but giving me such small 
doses it taunts me. When...

the world
is full of free radicals
telling the conservatives
to take a sabbatical

everything is about
free this and free that
no one wants to work
to get where they're at

gotta remember
life isn't a game
earth spins around
a ying and a yang

have a balance
of the good
and the bad

but people always say
they want...

Tonight the act of naming fell through the floor.
We speak permeable solids inflect’d by light.
Things move indistinctly: a pine palette floats
momentarily from semi truck’s bed, crosses
its body with windshield; ovidian shift from a
Forest to an old faux confectioner’s swatch,
lines up songs taking fleas for fleece....

Fire gave us power right at the door,
Farming made us hungry for more,
Money gave us ungoverned greed,
And science, such a deadly breed!

Our brief his’try from beastly apes
To species that learnt spoken word,
Sovereign that rules the whole world,
Then back to brutes that Ma Earth rapes.

Filled my soul with aching 
to keep my brain from faking 
its joy. 
Torn hearts asunder, I once was filled with wonder 
but now I dread the thunder and 
my laughs are filled with buckets of rain. 
The leaves my palms were built of are...
