Controlled
Controlled
You controlled me,
Who I wanted to be
Who I was as a person,
And as a son
I wanted to be fitted to perfection,
While it was only depression
Even with you gone,
Your never really gone
Still the puppeteer,
Controlling and full of anger
While I’m left with strings,
That still stings
I’m controlled.

Bouncing Back Self-Controlled
In the seamless sky of my fervent yearning,
I let the enraptured songbird of heart soar high,
glide in the spring-rippled amorous breeze
that carried your jasmine fragrance to me.
The dulcet dawn splashed the spectrum of ecstasy,
blossomed the buds of my euphoric dreams
in the seamless domain of depthless desire.
I didn’t see the sandstorm slither in the slate

Love cannot be controlled or confined
Love is thinner than a piece of cheesecloth,
transparent yet confusing to navigate.
More conservative than a political debate
More hearts are broken than mended
.
I am determined to search globally for an end to this love.
We desire it fiercely and embrace our fate to heal humanity.
Love may be a fleeting remedy,
Yet we pursue it with fervent

Nazriel Rising
Nazriel Rising Small World Ace
She was as pretty as ever on this night
With me smitten to bits with her aura
As we met on our usual pickup location
Nazriel that one who so compliments me
We were on an official business briefing
One of Epic proportions with intricacies
This time the operation was offshores
With me providing intel logistic n liaison
We

The Chronicles of a Tortured Mind 1 of 10
"Who Am I"
Voices in my head the unheard of
They mimic, they pester, they lie
All to just torture my mind
Who Am I...
Who Am I...
I question I can no longer answer
They've erased Me, Myself and I
Changed into the hopeless, heartless, unkind
Who Am

Life Controlled
What I knew
as I grew?
Little, true.
What's taboo?
Not a clue.
Now I'm old,
life on hold,
sold and polled,
sites enrolled;
things controlled.

Self Controlled Life
Man who does not live in godliness
is far away from God's blessings.
If one renews not his life,
it won't be good for him.
He who stays away
from wicked deed
has steadfast
and strong
faith.

Soul Controlled
You were leaning over the rustic, wooden bridge.
Elements of a cold autumn eve approaching.
I just was entranced by the sea of you.
Black full hair, corduroy pants, tweed jacket.
Book of our favored poet, rested on the bridge lustily.
~ ee Cummings, his poetry blessed our union, for eternity.
That magnificent, modern poetry, not meant to be in any

Controlled Isolation
When I was a kid, I learned the meaning of balance by walking
railroad tracks. It was both fun and a self-imposed classroom.
At some point in my life, I learned that isolation was not a good thing
when it contributed to the death of people disconnected from others.
Nevertheless, in 2020, I am learning the value of

The Dead Life
“The Dead Life”
(Sleep is the Sister of Death, so I am told)
Wake every morning take a break from death. From the life I live inhaling immortal breath. Uncontrolled vision of lives lived in my head. Most nights are dreamy, some nights are sad.
Fears of our days under lights brightly shining. Return to us in

Controlled Chaos
What's going on here
Something feels way off
Barely keeping a grip
This is controlled chaos
Everyone is running
In different directions
They can't get far
Alarms sound on detection
With it's sensative sensors
The secondary defense's
They tripped the alarm
So very relentless
Someone has slipped by
But they won't stay lost
We will catch them
This is controlled chaos.
You patience will be tested
