Best Untwist Poems
A lack of oxygen, a stifled room
A pregnant pause, apparent gloom
Bitter sighs and angry growls
Upon her face "It's not my fault"
His wrinkled brow, "I'm not to blame!"
Past mistakes that hover now
Where pride as tough as elephant skin
Clinch the eyes where tears begin
While those who made a lover's pledge
Now teeter on the razor's edge
Behind closed doors heads shake about
And raging voices mutely shout
Mountains, molehills, vent and spout
Fingers point inside the fist
No one recalls what led to this
Closed minds, resolved, and won't untwist
Raising questions one by one
Old ghosts that dangle, freely spun
A hopeless scene, what's left to gain?
No matter what,....they'll show no shame
What massive figure profoundly looms
as large as elephants in a room?

GeorgeLuis: Deep demons breaking my heart
But I'm still smiling, trying to play the part
Time, time ticking in my head
Now life is like walking on a thread
Feeling alone, God send an angel instead
Real purpose of smiling again? Is there new love waiting ahead?
My angel keeps me company
Her love is my astronomy
Knowing every little thing she would do for me
Like I'll die for you, you die for me
I know one day I'll die in your arms
My love is yours and your love is mine
And I hope for you this is not only rhymes
You begin to notice my feelings give energy
My love for you is now until infinity
Xavier: Hopes of something new
No lovers in my view
Though my options are plenty, I'd rather be with you
She doubts we can be serious
My heart keeps me curious
Let rumors hold me hostage, with drama there's no healing us
Tears flow down your cheeks
Your past has you weak
We can take off high speed, leave the baggage in the street
Have I convinced you enough?
Or am I running out of luck?
I'll untwist us from the wire, if we ever become stuck. So what's up?
Attempting to charm, I share thoughts deliberately
My love for her is now until infinity

When fearful voices in the night began to cry,
Roaring from countless dreams behind the scream,
Dribbled eyes gazing into darkness at the vast sky,
This darksome turn, down into a wet pool of frown.
Perhaps the living of everyday hurts so much
Being stuck in this world always fooling around,
Dredged with pain and despair of being watch,
Drowning with whatever pleasure can be found.
But I feel far away from the depressed bridge
Hearing echoes of merry din sounds in the distance,
Lapping floating charge, cleared and cheered the barge.
Sent in the midst, to bring glorious untwist deliverance.
Into space where stars reside in overwhelming glory,
There is only thing in life more radiant and beautiful
As the reflections beaming from an infinite galaxy,
It is a sultry truth that slides down far into our soul.
The jewels of love shines brightest in the human heart,
With universal temptations from acres of diamonds,
Shining brightly in the vast atmosphere of perfect light
Filling all the void of emptiness with unique demands.
Let love break down the walls that surround the region,
With the Eternal Light selected source of happiness,
And move belief to fill our days with deeper expectation,
By discovering love, the smoothest jewel of bliss.

One can't be a man
Without having strange desires
To sleep in a mother-of-pearl shell
At the bottom of the sea
To swim and dive
In a drop of morning drizzle
To take a delicate snail by the horns
Ride electrons
In their befuddled orbits
Or send an e-mail to Jesus Christ for Christmas
To smoke with the pipes of volcanoes
To untwist the reddish hair of comets
Have sex with a cachalot whale
Play golf with stars and black holes
And put on your beloved’s finger
One of Saturn's rings
One can't be a man
Without having these desires
You die
The desires remain
Keeping the human race alive

Winter swirls on the morning mist
Undulating clouds blowing west.
Cobwebs clear with a forceful fist
Winter swirls on the morning mist
A snatch of red wool to untwist
Caught in an updraft on the crest
Winter swirls on the morning mist
Undulating clouds blowing west
The glow of lights beckoning home
A snatch of red wool on the hook
Soggy from the day’s windy roam
The glow of lights beckoning home
Curled before the fire alone
Sweet calico purrs in the nook
The glow of lights beckoning home
A snatch of red wool on the hook

The Camarilla *part 1
She forgets every meaning of untroubled silence and fantasy
Joyful and full of spirit, indulgent ways to live a life in existence
Her unity, filled with haven never again the craven
Allowing to never again be discredited, nor run from her responsibilities
Walking in a bust that rejected hopeful-less feelings
The love, joy healed every carefree solitary need
Soft reactions, with a gift that holds inner peace
A joy of the stop, universal, opening the silence
Her enemy now wears the white wolf coat~
With no interest of ongoing thoughts, ending these uncomfortable ways
Engraved words removed, releasing pristine motions that swim in mystery
Gazing at the world with one complete look, of everything
Regretting old thoughts of waste
Losing and forgetting every notion that now can be dealt and felt
Rising to the ability of her sexuality, that rises above and below all levels
Now she whispers, words that untwist her fate, with great debate
Destroying and diverting demonic demons data dreaming
A sin to go on when one ignores the light
A lovely look against every break was all it took
Intervening every change that took place
She is and always will be saved,
Enjoying all the pleasure and painless desires for compassion
Eliminating every form of inner prison, turning it into medicated freedom
Dedicating every matter behind,
Oh! How to spread that life's a dream one should be shared
Sane like the flowers that grow throughout the year
Finally, finding the perfect ruler of peaceful grace
Calmly giving life and advice, praying, praising, and preparing
Forgetting her NEFARIOUS, purpose!

Dramatic Verse
Amidst contortations and grimaces, lucifer laboured.
In two hours and three, the beast was perfect,
Glaring around, he cackled his delight.
"Serpatinus," he spluttered, still cackling
He appeared and in lucifer's hands, fell the snake.
With deceit lurking in his eyes
He fitted it inbetween the beast's thighs
Then opening the gates of hell, he unleashed the beast
For her beauty, many a man did crave
Oblivious that such beauty takes to the grave
She could twist and untwist men
For they were always there begging for her light.
She was generous with her gifts
As they obliviously signed their warrants:
-Death and impotent warrants.
Inbetween her legs, the serpent never rested
There was an incessant invasion of many a *****.
Families never saw light again in the aftermath
As men grew wearied and hibernated without children.
Many had fallen; fallen for lucifer
Watching in amusement, he cackled
While signing their air tickets
Mission accomplished, the beast turns and journeys
From whence it came,
In wait of lucifer's next call to arms.
Presidents, ministers, kings ,nobles and clergies
were those who received the tickets lucifer signed.
They all fell prey in this
Lucifer's incessant destruction

Twisted or untwisted,
distorted, coiled, warped,
entwinded and interwoven,
aberrancies cavort.
Sleeping in the sun room,
mattress on the floor,
we thought that was cool then,
back in 1974.
The sun's glare woke me up,
but I kept my eyes shut tight.
Still, with my eyelids firmly closed,
the room was brutally bright.
I was just relaxing there,
waking and clearing my head,
when I felt my cat step up
on the foot of my pallet-like bed.
I felt the weight of him walking
and I heard his happy purr.
He laid down between my legs
and I stretched to stroke his fur.
He started "making buscuits"
on the inside of my thigh,
his claws were out, it hurt a bit,
and he was kneeding a little high.
My right hand was still petting him-
my right hand was on his head,
and then I opened up my eyes
and my stomach lurched with dread.
I stared in disbelief because
HE WAS NO LONGER THERE,
he had simply vanished,
was gone into thin air.
I have no explanation,
it's too twisted to untwist,
but I swear this really happened,
and my awe of it persists.
Twisted and untwisted,
reality's illusions,
it all adds up cosmically,
to circumspect confusion.

In the realm of paths diverging, I find my weary feet
So many crossroads I have taken, so many choices incomplete
Yet the haunting memories linger, in shadows I try to dismiss
A tapestry of missteps, a tapestry I yearn to untwist
Lost and befuddled, in the labyrinth of my own design
I long for clarity, a compass to guide me, gentle and kind
But loneliness rests like a dark thorn against my tender skin
Fear clings to my side with sly whispers, stealthy and thin
Yet amidst the tempest, a glimmer of hope, faint but true
Pierces through the doubt, casts a light where darkness once grew
Oh, to find a kindred soul, who treads a similar trail
Walking together, hand in hand, to prevail against our plight's veil
Side by side, we'd venture forth on this journey of countless miles
Sharing our woes, harmonizing our sorrows, singing the blues with genuine smiles
For in shared pain, solace we'll discover, a warmth to light our way
Until the new dawn rises with promises of a brighter day

Verse
As the winter slows down and the wind is not heavy
Your love holds me in the palm of your hands.
You shelter me from the storms and you keep me warm
in the palm of your hands.
When life takes my last breath,
you hold me in the palm of your hands.
Your love flows from rivers slow
you hold me in the palm of your hands.
You took my sin and let me live
in the palm of your hands.
Life can hurt and twist us all over the roads of life
but you untwist the pain inside,
you hold me in the palm of your hands.
My life is still not right,
so many days of inside fright,
but one thing I know,
you hold me in the palm of your hands.
Take me into your heart so true,
help me not to be so blue,
Jesus,please hold me in the palm of your hands.

Light Verse
I must find all my lost dreams and hold them,
or live a caged bird;
I must gather all that is lost- each gem,
each big dream that over the years has blurred.
Within they still exist,
oh now I am, as deep- as an ocean;
and dreams will untwist,
only then, can I fly high like a falcon.

pyramid outlines glazed against desert skyline
castles and teepees in recesses of her mind
daydreams and nightmares she couldn’t shake
through the modern world she tries to break
feeling out of whack
she struggles to look back
knowing her present does not seem contemporary
each incarnation is but temporary
only a famous hypnotherapist
finds a way her mind to untwist
“Many Lives, Many Masters”*
through time’s tunnel she falls faster
discovering what had once been blocked
now with the keys, past lives unlocked
her love for Native American art
born of memories carried not in her heart
but in her eternal soul
modern life just part of a whole
now she knows why she’s not contemporary
but feel no desire to be ordinary
*”Many Lives, Many Masters” was a best seller by Dr. Brian Weiss,
who used hypnosis to uncover the past lives of a patient suffering
from confusion and bad dreams.

The bad habits still exist,
The voices I hear still persist,
I try not to listen, I try to resist,
So I keep on hearing them but I never get the gist,
My mind and heart have been fighting, due for a tryst,
As I fight to untwist your clench on my wrist,
There is nothing much worse than being dismissed,
But you can't enter my heart, you're just not on the list,
You attempt to snag my hearts strings, reminding me of the first time we kissed,
each memory is futile, far from changing my mind just making me pissed,
Still you try to hold on, clinging, like a tick or a cyst,
And still never giving credit for the things I have risked,
You try to hide them but i see true intentions through mist,
You might think they will stop me, but all your words just sound hissed,
If you wanna fight this war go ahead, I refuse to enlist,
But I'll tell you goodbye one more time, I'm sure I'll be missed,
...And I'll throw deuces in the air cause my words are my fists.

Face to face , eye to green eye , introduction to an unknown
I pray this concept, unjustified : never to be cloned
A seed planted, nurtured : is now fully grown
An aroma filling my Heart with doubt, I feel so empty : alone
I ask : does my Heart speak lies to YOU ; my most BELOVED
Is my Heart twisted around the evil envy of Jealousy?
How can I say with all my Heart : I LOVE YOU
Without a green eyed monster raising its ugly hackles inside YOU
Will Michael Jordan’s contest : “Twisted” untwist YOUR Heart
Untwist my Heart ; so it can say “ I LOVE YOU Barbara Jean “
With no Jealous repercussions
Dedicated to Barbara Jean Gorelick
Inspired by Barbara and Michael Jordan's Contest " Let's get Untwisted "

Oh God, I wish…I wish I could tackle these hardships
I taste happiness for a change…
It’s very, very strange
This feeling smothers me…
I know God has helped countless people in the bible…
And he has straightened me up…and He clothed me with His love
But, He’s way up above…
I know He could see me…and I hope to make Him pleased
He has put my soul at ease...
And please excuse me as I have a chat with God
God has seen my distress and healed me
Oh boy, I’m very content with Him around
He has placed me in the Lost and Found
Box and I’ve been found
And I feel that I belong for once
Tree branches twist and turn right before my eyes
Could you untwist the knot…please don’t whisper lies
Depression is like a bunch of flies,
Hovering around you…swap it or move away from them
Before you get attacked…don’t be the victim
Of shame like I was…keep pressing on…
Seek first God’s Kingdom and honor the son…
Glance at the sun…and feel its rays…
I don’t want this night to end…the hours have its ways
Of pushing me below the surface…
However, God has granted me happiness
Not sadness…that Satan tries to throw at me
Possibly, there’s a way to swim away from the churning sea
I soak in information that doesn’t have a value
If only you knew…if only you knew
The struggles I’ve been encountering
But, God knows everything and I’m left clueless
But, I shouldn’t lose hope in Him…though, at times I feel so hopeless
I am growing out of my shell…
Things are starting to ring a bell
Oh man…there’s times when I feel like my growth process stops all of the sudden
I’m like a caterpillar,
Developing into an angelic, blue striped and green spotted butterfly
I believe that I’ve lost my mind…
I’m frozen in place…I’m watching the time unwind
Yet, I won’t give up on you, brother
You listen to me, like no other
