Best Untether Poems
Trodden Paths Not In Vain"Paint in silence”
“The Weight of Temp”
Colour your canvas and spill your Art
shake and awaken many a heart
Untether your soul
from your whole
escape mundane and time
and let your brush rhyme
Have Man radiate
pour oil colours on his trait
Carve his seized dreams
and his insight of flowing streams
Let me read...

Serial Keeler
Foreboding of a tempestuous storm,
it blackens as it draws near,
a cumulonimbus in towering form,
extending to the troposphere,
So cast off mooring and slacken the line,
break free while there's still time,
'cause I'll pull you under if you don't let go,
Save...

The Void of FlightInto the depths of depression I sank,
To the dark bottom of that bottomless pit,
In which problems abound and worries are heightened
Funny enough, this pit though not physical
Tells on my physical
'Tseems the force of gravity is increased upon me
My gait is slow
An my countenance an...

The FeatherA rage of weather is tethered to my ribs,
held by a soulful feather, silent as a dead foe.
It will totter to tatters but
always get better, but

A Psychedelic JourneyWith my eyes half closed I looked in the mirror to see
that worry and anxiety have painted a psychedelic me.
My face is contorted, and I seem to be quite unraveled,
reflected in colors showing where my mind has traveled.
It appears I've become distorted, in a state...

Time For Me To SleepEvery night
As I'm unwinding
With the light
No longer blinding
Comes my plight
Which was residing
Out of sight
But only hiding
In the distance
I hear it creep
Though resistant
I cannot keep
As it's insistent
That I peep
So To listen
Instead of sleep
With its grinding
It does so flauntingly
As it's reminding
That it's haunting...

Love HitMy perception of God never does anything accidently he’s mistake free no debates/
He has a conception for everything he creates or how he intakes and crates/
Every person was designed with a purpose in mind for another person in time/

TetheredI’m tethered to work
And weathered by chores’
And follow a measured
Run-of-the-mill course.
I’m tethered, not feathered
And no longer fly,
I’ve ignored my wings
And do not know why.
Flying was certain
When flying was free;
When trying and flying
Were the best part of me.
I flew through the world
Or was it a dream,
Feathered...

Ever Onward
Ever Onward Into the Light and Beyond
Ever-Rising, The Ethereal Psalm
where Fire and Stars within Collide
a Paradise of Wisdom, a Flower Of Life
Ever-Inward Into realms Untouched
where the Souls Ablaze, In This I Trust
Ever-Propelled by the Solar Thrust
I Wind...

More Than a FeelingSometimes love just isn’t enough,
as destiny calls within
Orphaning passion, emotions untether,
lost to Cupid’s whim
Never requited, alone and denied,
the search begins anew
Feelings repackaged and searching for more
—to do what love can’t do
(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2020)...

The Good DreamGranite hearted politicians
tossing our lives and minds
onto election year bonfires.
Flicking tongues- fanning blazes
veiling their throbbing lies
building dead end mazes.
"Fixing" problems of their own making...
slinging toxins without solutions
masking our voices with concoctions.
Forcing us to breathe in beltway pollution...
We the citizens turned into treadmill jesters
juggling dirty...
