Long Untether Poems

Every night 
As I'm unwinding 
With the light
No longer blinding
Comes my plight
Which was residing
Out of sight
But only hiding

In the distance
I hear it creep
Though resistant
I cannot keep
As it's insistent 
That I peep
So To listen
Instead of sleep

My perception of God never does anything accidently he’s mistake free no debates/
He has a conception for everything he creates or how he intakes and crates/ 
Every person was designed with a purpose in mind...

What is a wish; wasted wallowing in unmet dreams
Sought to rise instead sinks slowly with false promisers
Hell is harmonising of hearts without attuned ear
A siren song sung to a desperate soul

Clear is the devilish detail...

Into the depths of depression I sank,
To the dark bottom of that  bottomless pit,
In which problems abound and worries are heightened
Funny enough, this pit though not physical
Tells on my physical
'Tseems the force of gravity...

Granite hearted politicians
tossing our lives and minds
onto election year bonfires.
Flicking tongues- fanning blazes
veiling their throbbing lies
building dead end mazes. 

"Fixing" problems of their own making...
slinging toxins without solutions
masking our voices with concoctions.
Forcing us to breathe...

With my eyes half closed I looked in the mirror to see
that worry and anxiety have painted a psychedelic me.
My face is contorted, and I seem to be quite unraveled,
reflected in colors showing where my...

"Paint in silence”
“The Weight of Temp”
Colour your canvas and spill your Art
shake and awaken many a heart
Untether your soul
from your whole
escape mundane and time
and let your brush rhyme
Have Man radiate
pour oil colours on his trait

Foreboding of a tempestuous storm, 
it blackens as it draws near, 
a cumulonimbus in towering form, 
extending to the troposphere, 

So cast off mooring and slacken the line, 
break free while there's still time,

Hundred million K' away neighbour, Mars

I’m tethered to work
And weathered by chores’
And follow a measured
Run-of-the-mill course.

I’m tethered, not feathered
And no longer fly,
I’ve ignored my wings
And do not know why.

Flying was certain
When flying was free;
When trying and flying
Were the best part...

A rage of weather is tethered to my ribs, 
            held by a soulful feather, silent as a dead foe. 
It will totter to...
