Tangles & Knots In my hair there are tangles and knots Knots of anxiety, grief and depression that leave pulled painful ripped empty spots Tangle one hair, pull with the other Another knot to discover Pain from the pull and tangle Damage and destruction from the strangle Again & again the pull and the detangle begin Where it ends is where it...

A strand of pearls not tied with knots; we’re held together — just a thread. At times like sticky spider silk and other times a shred of string that aches and breaks and throws our pearls across the floor. The clatter scatter marble-mess of all the dirt and hurts we pretty-wrapped. Without the knots between the pearls, we...

Where to run? There's nowhere to go Where to hide? I can't go below I cry, I cry I sigh, I sigh The world's a mess As am I So when I'm stressed I look to the sky Why, oh, why was I put here? In this place, this family, this time, oh dear! My head spins with spools of thought All tangled up in terrible knots I...

Beneath the knots of time hidden in fallen planks, Feet dangle, shattered by the shadow of oblivion. Through an eyebrow of sun clothed in pollen and decline, A hand strikes a bargain to see how light spins a new face, A shadow play mimicking that all is sublime— Will the morning be born with another chance at rebirth? Deep are the...

You will untie knots from your chain, with trembling hands whistling in the wind, And you will be unstrung, in turn, from someone's necklace, like an exiled pearl. Often, partings dress in mute garments, sleeping in the shelter of silence, Other times, you'll be the silent saint, and your answer is the void left behind. Sometimes time insists on...

Count The Knots Miracle Man 4/21/2024 I once had a friend with a rotten attitude, each time I dissed him, I got some platitude. So I with much dread put knots on his head His mindset has since changed to gratitude. “It Doesn’t matter how many times you’re knocked down As long as you rise from your last.” and you can tell if a guy...

In hope of gain if man bears pain, Clouds gain just as to drain as rain, Crooked, but roads still look ahead, A gold chain binds no less as chain. Life is hope and so is mirage, Marriage is still a kind of rage, Straight or not, life still goes ahead, Marriage may bind, yet not a cage. In absolute confusion caught, In conflict,...

Life is entanglement plus time, A Gordian knot of opportunities, Each ravel a riddle to solve or a battle to be won. We grab and pull at the gnarls, Greedy fingers seeking solutions alone. Though the more we worry them, the tighter the fibers cling together, defeating our efforts with every turn. The working ends unhitched and hidden, Knots impossible to untie without another; Desperate, we...

All life I wandered, In search of vague meandered, But when I pondered, Said my long subdued heart’s voice: Unknot all knots, mute all noise. ________________________________ Tanka |15.12.2022| life, journey Poet’s note: Is it not how the journey of life we travel? One step forward, two back and never straight forward! But mind is full of knots. Always listen to heart....

IT IS TOUGH TO FACE DEFEAT, KNOWING I FAILED. MY PARTNER OF TEN YEARS, UP AND BAILED. YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN, ALL OVER MY FACE. I THOUGHT SHE HAD, FALLING FROM GRACE. FOR A LONG TIME, I BLAMED EVERYONE ELSE. WHAT A SURPRISE, NONE OTHER THEN HERSELF. I'M STUCK HERE PAYING THE PRICE. ...

Knots Two fibers to join take some time, Partly crossed, partly ajar. It’s like a poem without a rhyme, Knit closely but yet too far For both are alike and nobody’s prime. Junction pains at night as it is treated like a dice, for it goes to the left and then right, just like cats run after mice and the knot weakens with each bite. Breaking...

Book looking like written by a scribe Matter of fact Mr. Putin thought it was just a drive Looking like his mistress threw up a sign It looks like this flying Serpent is finally going to die Motter of fact I was lloking and staring at the Christ How does He have horns on His head When He's just a mine...

I could feel them tight knots in my stomach. They were there, I had no choice. Then in crept through, That manipulative voice. At 14 I felt far from loose, Already practicing how to make a noose. Using it or not, is a different book. So I did some research and had a look. I had to make sure everything was right- Not just...
