Best Willingly Poems

This, I do so, willingly.
Without reservations of the heart.
I offer my shoulder to thy wheel,
my strength, to thus impart.

My voice, I lend to your cause.
Champion, to which you undertake.
My arms, I spread to encompass,
kith and kin, you now care take.

A heart, that beats strong and...

Lock me in a tower,
tie me to the bed.
The secrets that
you whispered,
play inside my head.

Tell me
Again,
you want me.
Show me,
HAVE NO FEAR!

Please!!
I beg....
Touch me,
More!
Like that,
Right here.....

Somewhere far away
On a moonless night,
torture me,
endlessly....
I promise,
I'll pretend to fight....

Fine is the line 
between pleasure
and pain.
Punish me
with ecstasy,
strip me of...

Unidentified extraterrestrial(s) willingly abducted me

As a divergence 
from the apocalyptical, dialectical, 
geomorphological, judgmatical, 
metaphorical, philosophical...,
I share an out of this 
(webbed wide) world,
light hearted anecdote 
ye may find far fetched.

Believe me you,
an unspecified number of years ago,
yours truly availed himself 
as an experimental subject,
and since...

Beyond the swelling ache
  the barrenness throbbing inside.

More than the tightness in my limbs
   are the swirling over-wrought thoughts.

Beneath my exterior daily grind of leadership
  a sensitive waits to surrender her pain  .

My will is asserted each day.

A parody of 'Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night'
          Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa to Dylan Thomas

Do not go willingly into the dark night
Evil lurks in shadows at the end of each day
Rage, rage against...

I am not your mind, but I think of you 
               I am not your heart, but I feel you and I'm missing you

my constant friend
i still
do not know
exactly what we
are doing here

but i feel death is
starting at my feet
and working up

so......

i must ask you to
tell my lover and 
my mother that 
i willingly give
my life so that
they may be free

tell them to look
at each spring
as a blessing...

there was a woodsman that lived in rosewood
approached a nymph sleeping in underwood
a gambler loved by the bards
sat down with a deck of cards
with sleight of hands lost his axe, boots and hood

When I first heard the thundering bombs
it was long ago on a starry night in the jungles of Vietnam
answering the call of a distant  war.
I still hear the sounds of falling marines coming from afar.

I was young and full of life and unprepared to...

To Willingly Let Go

To willingly let go
Of all the things that cause you pain
The entanglements of life
The things that cause you strife
Choose to cast it at His feet
Don't pick it up
or retreat
Allow the water of His word
To wash away
The tears
The time we waste
When we hang...

“Follow the Leader”, I recall is a children’s game
In reality, not an easy choice to make
And in retrospect, if it's taken literally, 
Our world would surely fall flat and break

We’ve had our share of Hitlers and Stalins
Saw how those who followed lost their humanity 
consciously,...

We were drifting off.... deeply into sleep!
Time was running out for my pups and me
They lay unconscious from inhaling dense smoke
The door was locked, so we crawled under the bench
And I barked as loud as I could, hoping attention to reap
 I had paced for...

Will you be my true love
Alas,  will you stand alone 
With me in the garden 
Shall we hold hands 
Will you allow me to pray for you 
Over and over again 
Can we worship God 
And parallel shall we be 
On bended knees 
As...

I know I told my heart I’d take this slow
But yet still, with him, it’s hard to not let the emotions overflow
I keep reminding myself to not to quickly should I let all my feelings, towards him, show
The funny thing is that, how I feel...

I am not the sum of my very own regret, I am my very, gratitude for all of them - when I continue to allow them to teach me!

As I walk upright within and outwardly and despite the struggle with all of this life continuing.

With...
