Long Tameless Poems

“Words We Cannot Escape”

Words we can no longer speak

we tap dance over keys 
bruised blackly numb
Winter palette in hand 
Autumn now gone 

across white-washed notes fixated on stark enclosed walls 
the scent of old Lavender...

O to be the humble horizon
that slumbers in restlessness,
I grieve not for the magnolias
that withered amidst
cruel claws of chaotic cravings.
I weep for the serene 
   wildflower whispers
that once upon a blood moon
were lost...

But on this night he saw so clearly before
His eyes would not leave the sight at the door
Graceful and gorgeous the girl who appeared
As a storm brewed outside and the heavens had teared
And so Lyla...

“we look for that light eternal 
that does not come and go 
the screen upon which life plays
cognised in staid stillness slow” ~ Unseeking Seeker 

I flow like silken ripples
through mirrored lakes,
a lotus sprouting from
mountain streams,
soaked in...

I still follow
the blinking spells
of the rose wine sunsets
before surging sandstorms,
believing in the euphoric breeze
floating across the
shivering skyline,
echoing vermilion voices,
lost in the limestone grains,
as questions of change
interrogate the empathy
encrypted within
my inhibited intuition,
like spices of kismet...

In frozen realms where snow to spring’s will never bends,
The laden branches of the firs quake full of fright
And only the audacious sunlight solace lends
To bashful birds which fear the loneness of their flight. 

Dark,...

Tho' bore your fate 'tis artless place you lone
Your girth--your hold freedoms--your claims be more
Restrained your gambled trade choice place bemoan
Shewn thee frankly tho' toughened be your core
Afoot they'd maketh treads besought a door
Shameless their...

Some Paradise Where Horses Go

"Somewhere, somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go"

Fondle the philosophers
Or scholars and thinkers alike
“-Ologies” or “-tists” do not facts of science make

A place must needs be 
Where emotions may eclipse
To experience adventures of love 
Delve into fantasy and escape 

Then, might I...

For some, things in heaven more real,
nothing from earth granted to conceal.
Comrade of the wandering heaven,
scares characters and their impression.
Desires of someone that must be,
compensations tragic here not to see.
Misty morning by prayers waken,
visions of...

The silent thoughts
Filling my mind
Boggling with inner turmoils
Letting go is nothing new
For negativity seems to boil
Seems to lerk around 
Like bats in the night sky
Only the inner sound
To make them fly
To make them come out...

Inside me there is the blowing of the wind
and fire that blowed in a war's strange dyne.
The infertil ground of the earth in my hands I hold
To tameless waves I pray still bending on my...

This Heart is like a Lion
Punished through the years but still tameless
facing the world and the consequences 
Scarred but still beating unwinking
and even mended, refuses to surrender

This Heart is like a lion
And for a while,...

All around me, only darkness
How can I get out of this mess
That which I got into in my consciousness
That which had rendered me tameless

It feels like am drowning
Water, water around me, surrounding
Can’t breathe, can’t talk,...

Sometimes I call myself shipwreck,
Suddenly static, stagnant,
Somehow less than a person, a fragment
And everything moves in slow motion.

Sometimes I call myself abandoned building,
Viciously vacant, vapid
My mind is cloudy, heartbeat rapid,
And it all gets too quiet.

Sometimes...

Deepest fears
River flooded deep in tears
feelings of regret won't disappear
Deepest fears
Watch them as they come right through
I can't dodge the feeling of losing you
Deepest fears
Dark clouds filled with strain
Walking through rain of struggle and pain
Deepest...

She will linger resolute
deviant in all her mannerisms...

She will scale her own character...
through the self portals of thought...

She will instigate the manifest
of the world real-

...claim a love deserved without
shame nor interpret guilt...

To thrive in all...
