Best Unleased Poems

 POTD 25 Nov 2020

Manage your Stress … a peeling faded poster boldly declares 
I do get it about advertising campaigns. 
Enough to know that,
‘strategically placed ads’ catching the eye, is huge. 
But this poster has seen better days ~
There’s nothing that screams out anymore.
So...

A universe jumbles unfinished in the mind
picture upon picture
a laconic dimension of perception
where comprehension hides in brambles
and rubbish churns like a river
emptying into the soul
the murky and the luminous converge
forming an enclosure of concentration
where nothing exists, except focus
time melts away...a word
then another, then another
like falling...

My lonely heart looks upon a pale blue sky
that grows dark
with a quiet and solemn understanding of what was
a love...never to be forgotten
now a stumbling wanderer
trying to cross the heart's desert
where the sun will set without color
and songbirds are only heard in echoes
of yesterday's songs
that...

In times like these, "are the times which try men's souls."
We desperately need to pray for peace during this twenty-first century.
Talks and actions of hostile nations are igniting into flames of death and destruction.  Do not the nations realize, nuclear weapons are capable of...

Side effect_life's passion much increased
By tiny baby's laughs, coos, and smiles
Or puppy playing with toys unleased
Side effect_life's passion much increased
By meandering in fragrant garden tension released
Or relaxing by a fire on rainy day_ fire that beguiles
Side effect, life's passion much increased
By tiny baby's laughs, coos,...

Tears of the Heavens enveloping the lands;
Rain is God's gift like the air and the wind.
Precious life's blood in the dry desert sands;
A mystery unleased like the yang and the yin....

Noahs Ark had pairs of animals
To take to a place of safety
The ones I wish to write about
Are very busy ones you must agree

They started out as a pair
Very soon this number increased
Wonder if you can guess
Of this sexual pair, libido unleased

They are not very...

That man that stands in front of us,
With his combed over hair, wearing
Ancient shoes and a semi vacant 
Stare, who’s card does not work
And oh, sort of knows that there
Is some currency somewhere,
Between his trousers and luck,
A remote pocket, the only
Believer’s face was his own,...

My dog's as smart as a geek.
He can bark in English, Arabic, and Greek.
He’s expert in canine mathematics,
can discuss dog-fight aerodynamics,
and is fluent in bow-wow doublespeak.
And yours?

Would it be okay if later today
I brought Bixby by to play
with Boris and Doris 
and Horace and Morris
and...

I could not hold on to you
But oh...how hard I tried
Excavated each forgotten chamber
Of my heart
To find some charm
Some talisman
To cast a spell
And make you mine
Some magic potion
That would make your every night
A “midsummer night’s dream”
Where all is not what it seems
And you are in...

We've lived here so long
Making fairy tales of normalcy
Existing in perpetual dormancy
Where did God go?
Left Him in pews
and dog eared passages
These are wider passages
with nowhere to grow

Crumbs still crumble
when making breads ends meat
I don't find this mete
but it still has to go
There was never honey...

Oh, young and foolish was I
Impetuous as an unleased pony
In a lush green meadow
Where the fences were far away,
And I was free to explore.

Oh, young and foolish was I
Unrestrained by age’s wisdom
In a world of opportunity,
So unprepared for any danger
Hungry for adventure.

Oh, young and foolish...

What are we capable of, we have no knowledge.
Until pushed to the wall, pushed too thin. 
Steroids of power rushing through;
Inside walls of firm unleased space.

Even for trust that seemed so strong,
Broken with one swift harsh push.
Not to be a judge of they that respond,...

Long is the memory's burn
when tomorrow comes too soon
and time drops its weathered coat
upon the vanquished floor of love

We danced as lovers
beneath the soft sensual glow of eyes
on our dim-lit stage of unrehearsed illusion
where we were swept away
by the haunting melody of love's warm sighs
from...

Desharah  woke early morning 8 am.
She wanted to check out her new
House. But she waited for Sedanah 
To come out of her dreams. 
"WAKE UP SEDA."  They roomed
Together. That's what her mother 
Wanted. Desharah shook Seda's
Bed. She said, "Seda are you dead!"
Sedanah rolled...
