Best Unraveling Poems

When you were born...
a gift you received.
Invisible knitting needles...
can you believe?

The yarn started out white,
then you added the the colors...
depending what happened
as you reacted to others.

You are the creator of your own scarfs design,
It's based on life's lessons...
let's keep that in mind.

The longer the scarf...

Unraveling miscommunication
Is not always sought out, but rather wise.
The key to understanding is simple.
Just listen closely to these next few steps;

First step is to humble yourself right then,
Like a lowly slave, sinking to his knees.
Every bit of confidence vanishing,
Like myself before a presentation.


Sharpen your ability...

A whirlwind, an understatement of what this day has become
Funny how it was a day where optimism would be welcomed in with open arms
Only to have confusion be the annoying friend
This is a book unraveling, sorry for the torn pages
They’ve been through a lot of...

in silence
i declare violence 
a warm chill rises from the former latter
yet i am just another person in search of something better beautiful
in noise
i perfect my poise...

I've wrecked me again, scattered, undone...

and here...

We were foolish to believe and he was simple, then, I could have told him...

underneath me...

but I turned upside down, you see, and tumbled from up above.


Bee stings and southern air, and if I thought I didn't remember, if...

Begin by stripping my skin to the bone
Misfortune is baked in layers
Mania in DNA is more than kin
I trust nurture entwined with nature

Tattered veils obscure perspective's light
Shameful gauzes are undressed
Ran madly half-bare to sis's arms
Suicidal wolf cries no longer tempt me 

Re-parenting without weed strips...

Unraveling 
Stitches from our wedding quilt
Unraveling
Your so-called “business traveling"
Anniversary streamers of guilt
25 years - the life we built

I
Tangles
Life in bang - les and jangles
One angle
Unravels the tangles
One bang - le at a time

II
My only angle 
Of untying any tangle
Is to hop on Faith - plane
Even if time made it a debris jungle
Faith rescues me every time...

A Metamucil Moment"

Woke up this morning
Feeling rather blue
Ran out of Metamucil
Don't know what to do

Muscles really aching
Joints are creaky sore
I ran out of Ben-Gay
Have to run down to the store

Blood pressure medicine
Seems too have disappeared
Can't remember if I used it all
My tummy's feeling kinda of...

In a corner of a little world I wait 
And all I can do is anticipate

I hear all that is going on in the news
So much our planet has it could lose

What next, my unique world I ask
Are we up to the making-life-better task?

Our little...

I think of those legions who would suffer,
those people who have had lots less than me.
You think your life couldn't be tougher
until through their eyes, you finally see.

Squeeze out one tiny drop of compassion
to then see surely how far it could spread.
Actually not knowing in...

seeds unraveling into branches
branches spawning into flowers
flowers dispensing their fruit
fruit distributing their seeds...

I feel them unraveling me

With each question, each look, and each new fight

She screams "it's mine", he yells "I want it"

God, will they ever shut up?!

I can feel my grip slipping

My mind is closing in on me

The light is getting dimmer

How long before I'm gone?

The...

To a child with an inquisitive mind
It takes them on a journey.
Everything in life is intertwined
Even the things that are nonaligned.
A child can open the door to the secrets 
Of the universe by using the key.
To a child with a inquisitive mind
That old saying look...

I have a frightening mental block,
Poetic reserves lost, no stock,
My mood is down and damp,
My hand has constant cramp,
Imagination not worth a dime,
Brain all mushy, turned to slime,
Fantasy faded oh dear oh dear,
Inspiration none, it’s gone I fear,
Funny, horror, politics, history or love,
Blankly, see grey...
