Best Unsanctioned Poems


The Salon of Forbidden Thought
The Salon of Forbidden Ideas
is a place where the free-thinkers go
to express their unsanctioned opinions
and explore what they aren't meant to know...

At twilight, they slip through the shadows
of the alley 'twixt Far-Left and Right,
wearing black masks and cloaks of red satin,
bearing lanterns of unfiltered light.

The...

At the Horizon
Intimate cushion of your embrace
Eyes open and cocoon was just a farce
Elapsed moment a dream
Present abode like any other place
Absent mortal impression on sheets unwrinkled
Madeup lodging, your absence more pellucid
Arrogance, an escort to rising phoenix
To other's sensitivities, response less jumbled
Swamped in syrup of shattered illusion
Alas,...

Premium Member Beyond Speech
Beyond speech
Before the words
Even leave your lips
Thinking about thinking
Looking at your thoughts
I see the building blocks 
Of your breaking down
It's noisy sound image
An abstract tree growing concepts
In a forest needing life

* Simeon wages its demise 

Beyond the tip of your tongue
After supper, when the words...

Cross Roads
The year was Ten Ninety Five, 
Christianity by decree.
Off to the Holy Land men were sent, 
to set all Christians free.

Peter the Hermit was first to go,
church unsanctioned was the start. 
Whipping followers into a frenzy, 
with holy words he would impart.

But Peter's quest would...

Sample Price of Russians In Chechnya
More than 1,000 men, sometimes women
forced to clandestine detention centers.
Relatives mystified as to there whereabouts.
Some Russian troops bribed 
with money, weapons or ammunition.
Returning gave rise to evidence
of rape to both women and men,
constant beatings rendering broken bodies;
some with hammers.
One left with severe back injury,
another broken...

Holistic Mind Wipe

My Desire
From that fateful
first day we crossed
paths,

 I have dreamed of
us sharing numerous
baths.

Fantasized how we
would entwine our
bodies,

As we danced to
passion's drums...
no studies.

Books and lessons we
have abandoned, 

Our love all that
matters, though
unsanctioned.

Our families blood
feud precludes our
love flowering,

The ground stained
forever from
bloodletting.

Forbidden though it
may be, it grows
defiantly,

Stronger with each
bloody...

Journey To Bliss
A secret smile lights up only for you
an unspoken promise of what’s to come;
Shivers, tingling down your spine
as breaths' soft kisses caress skin

Unsanctioned  tremors, your body reacts 
to yearnings reflecting in those eyes,
Tacit entreating invoke echo’s of pleasure
on waves of heat crashing into your...

Feeling
Ecstasy
It begs replenishment
Fever
It screams for sacrifice
Need
It wants our undying devotion

Light pours into the unsanctioned places
Filling up a corner with its angry light
For it wishes to purge us
Of all our sins and delight

If all this is too arduous a task
Feel free to ask assistance
For I am...

A bus in the hand
A bus in the hand,
Is worth two that fail to land,
Or fail to stop on demand,
Because they are needed,
   when trains do not run as planned,
Or there has been slide of hand,
From drivers on a mission unsanctioned,
By those in command.

The good news is...

Premium Member Tattered
Tattered like an old love letter
Grasped too often in withered fingers
Folded and unfolded in an effort to remember
A long ago romance and those secret trysts
Beneath bowers of summer flowers
And too soon ended by elders
Shocked and scandalized by a love
They could not fathom and could not...

And i am not weakened by any fragility of spirit
I am not stood still, awaiting my becoming – i am flowing
And no longer do i fear the ingrained teachings of which you still hold dear

Premium Member In the labyrinth of stars, where shadows whisper secrets of ancient winds
In the labyrinth of stars, where shadows whisper secrets of ancient winds,
The world unfolds in shades of conformity, chaining minds in silence,
While fiery souls, flickering between these realms, seek the unseen tongue,
The language of freedom, pure and wild, defying the script of hollow forms.
Under the...

Premium Member Neanderthal Land
I must report that the Professor of Anthropology was more interested in how extinct prehistoric man, more specifically, Neanderthals, lived and why they didn’t survive.  They seem bigger with bigger brains from the fossilized records.  To her, it just didn’t make sense. ...

The Works
Catte'Moutte, is the position below
Corp. Manager. If the numbers are
Right and both staff and he has enough
Votes, 24/30 he will be 
Acting management
Number one contender
And the Blah, Blah (company refuses
to recognize the championship)
Worlds Champion. 
Penciling in the main event with
Chances in the card, wasn't easy
