Best Unweave Poems

On the night before Christmas, alone in my house, 
Sorrow gnawed at my soul, like a ravenous mouse.
Entombed in my blankets, I struggled to sleep,
Ready to snap if I counted more sheep.

I rose at the sound of scratching and creaking.
“Who’s there?” I cried, “Is it...

Armadilly came galloping into Troll Lake, bent on seeking a new life, to unwind.
He’d rode out of the Badlands, leaving only a trail of blowing dust and leaves, behind.
His steady stead Jalopy had been pounding feet, relentlessly with powerful strides.
Rearing up, Armadilly stopped before our...

Imagine,
for the two thousand and twentieth time,
Yang is hierarchical upside power hungry
from above,
authorized to prey on those yins below,
however resiliently they may pray.

Yang grows politically overpowering strengths
of an autonomously omnipotent god,
pejoratively associated with patriarchy,
and ethologically connected with Bucky Fuller's "convex"

So, of course,
Yang's inevitable intuitively appositional...

When a Man Loves a Woman


He awoke, unaware of what ailed him,
lay blissfully stupid upon the bed.
They had exchanged numbers. “Perhaps?”  “We’ll see?”
yet now, by trailing scent of her, he's led.

“Twas but the fleeting brush of flaxen hair
filaments of gold this spidery maze
soft pouty...

They unweave the web of lies for you,
lay platters of forgiveness at your feet,
intrigue falters, and the taint of greed,
their soft embraces dutiful and sweet.

They walk you through the fire with measured gait,
distilling all the hatred and the fear,
'til cleansed and ready for...

Sometimes dreams come true
And sometimes plans fall through
You can’t always tell just when it will become
A reality that is like a huge breakthrough
Like the answer to a prayer is the outcome

Sometimes fantasies become reality
Still, there is never any guarantee
You don’t always know what to believe
But...

Death has released your soul on this Summer's Eve,
and there is nothing that I can do but grieve.
As a dying sun sets.

A trickle of tears soon morphs into a flood,
and my heart shrivels, as though drained of its blood.
As painful as it gets.

And the fabric...

It wasn't difficult 
to learn the history
of you, 
to wipe away the 
foreign imprints 
of other souls, 
and misplaced fingertips
on the geography 
of your body.
The hard part was 
allowing my hands 
to fall, 
learning to
unweave my fingers
from yours,
and stop the awful
ticking
seconds
of remembering
you.
I managed to walk...

Do you know me?
I continue on for you
Only to be blinded by the shine 
In your brown eyes

Do you know what a mystery
You are to me?
Do you know the fabrics I 
Must unweave just to be within

Ear shot of your voice 
That musical noise
I miss...

I move;
perception moves;
thoughts move;
feelings move;
this body moves.

I am still;
perception stills;
thoughts still;
feelings still;
this body stills;

These perceptions I thought were me
vanish;
these thoughts I thought were me
vanish;
these feelings I thought were me
vanish;
this body I thought was me
will slowly vanish
as the germs and worms unweave the confusion.

I watch
nothing.

Then watching...

Hidden amongst the chaos
A solitary soul
Scarred from centuries traveled
With centuries more to go

Things beyond our normal
A thousand times she's seen
From worlds beyond mans vision
And more worlds in between

Touched by Natures mystery
Her depth she must perceive
To tap into her secrets
And see those worlds unweave

Though shunned by...

"As dead as leaves" I'd taken leave
of any sense for life’s new lease.
My wish - to be the  centerpiece.
How very reckless to perceive

my charms like magic could unweave
tight-woven strands, pursuit's pet peeve.
Desire was merely whim’s caprice -
"as dead as leaves".

Three friends had learned that...
