Best Untethered Poems

Salt tears drip from leaves, 
to land on tea-colored pages.
Hopes and dreams, 
written in the ink of history,
slowly blur and drip 
into the underworld of the
abandoned and long forgotten.

Salt waters of the ocean
and tumbling waves turn 
stones and pebbles to sand,
erasing familiar shapes
and throwing up...

When everything in your world 
is beautifully colored
you float on a cloud of bliss

limbs float untethered
shine like wings, you dance
swirling, swaying, swishing hips 

spread your wings  
fly, arms folded
to embrace

breathe deeply
store joy for rainy days

the light offered by life
and the shroud of darkness
offered by...

limitless  
endless rounds repeating
banquet of unmeasured sustenance  

liquid light  
released into coolness  
assuaging my soul's brown thirstiness 

eyes open  
unguarded, unafraid  
sinking in spangled star reflections 

color arc
rushing joyful cascade  
letting go, untethered forever

If wishes could quench my thirst for you
  I would be eternally drunk on requests.
My hunger well-sated by ardent feasting 
  upon a banquet of untethered desires.

A blessing of narwhals swims Arctic seas
with unicorn horns held high in the air;
having never seen a forest of trees.

Navigating waters that quickly freeze,
serenely aloof, untethered, and rare;
a blessing of narwhals swims Arctic seas.

Swimming through frozen seas, quick as you please;
they are the undisputed masters...

Untethered to this earth, I am a bird.
I’m winging and I’m singing in the sky.
How glorious this feels, but I’m not heard!
I wish for all to know my joy. I fly
back to the nest upon the blossomed tree,
where blissfully I let my voice resound.
There are...

Portions of love in a plentiful pour. 
Sharing sweet sighs
And Heavenly highs, 
Fabulous fantasies forevermore.

If I were a sailing ship with my mast set most high, I would let the wind guide my way and steer it not would I. My destination it would determine, and I'd ne'er regret the waves or the changing of the sea, for where...

Little by little, 
	thread by thread, 
	I am becoming untethered.
	My questions trip over one another,
	my thoughts churn and roil.
	A silence that bewilders 
	settles around me like dust. 
	That’s enough of the world for today....

My verse begins
  where logic ends

Escape its mission
  new light to bend

The easy answer
  the convenient close

Now left to others
  by others chose

Each phrase a path
  that leads inside

Beyond where dogma
  schemed and lied

A light there shines
  unto...

Sports, Sports, Sports
   Weather, Weather, Weather
News, News, News
   TV's come untethered

Business, Business, Business
   Politics left and right
From dawn to dusk, and onto evening
   And far into the night

Pundits, Experts, Talking Heads
   Some quite lively, some...

Falling raindrops weather rocks
untethered from time and clocks.
Fueling a thirsty Earth;
water stimulates rebirth.
Vapors condense in the sky;
and in the blink of an eye,
falling raindrops weather rocks....

I've struck a snag after a long develops steps.
To a recent attitude over alliance depth,
I investigate this frightening atmosphere.
On top, winning expresses me insecure.

 Because of my hearty assurance, I'm here today.
Divine grace has favored us for countless days.
I'm ailing back running with my unique...

Like a thistle tuft
at the mercy
of the wind;
I cling to 
invisible truths.
I've no roots
no destination  
no destiny and
no ambitions.
Like a snowflake
in a flurry,
I'm both unique
and commonplace;
just drifting through life.
But you; you’re like
a fledgling dove.
You ride the wind
on wings of hope,
giving fate control
of the reigns.
We...

The clock shattered in smithereens
but I hold on to the time;
time brought me to you
it would forever bond us
Time broke me away from the prison of my false thoughts
and here I remain UNtethered...
