Released by a Memory
For the millionth time I implored
the memory that I adored,
the only girl for me,
"I'll love you as long as I'm alive,
but, alas, how can I survive,
as you, from me, your love, deprive?
My love is all for thee."
For the first time, it gently spoke,
memory's ghost to a heart that broke,
"Listen close to me.
No one else can from

Where Hope is released to Thrive
Missing those who have passed away can be excruciating, even after years of mourning the Loss.
Grief becomes a frenemy we live with.
Where Hope is released to Thrive

And I still feel the loss each day
My Grief is a constant companion

Released From this Inner Fight
I feel so weak,
No strength to fight,
It's all left my body,
Out like a light,
I'd hope to find a cure,
That this day wouldn't come,
But now I'm too tired,
To reach out to someone,
I know they all cry,
Probably scream and not understand,
I promise I tried my best,
I'm okay with this end,
There'll be no

You said your life was boring so I have just released your address to every spider I know
You have time still, to escape with your
essentials. I only know one spider.
It will crawl to you slowly,
as a million-dollar snail might.
He has made an apartment where the ceiling
and wall meld like oceans.
His place is lousy with cross-hatched whites,
with a fine sheer finish that glows
in the sunlight. At present, he is resting in a sunbeam
atop

Released
You were childlike, sensitive and sweet
a colorful bird with clipped wings
fragile as porcelain, loved arty things.
You flew with your favorite butterflies
made pretty cards that cheered your friends
gave us love I thought would never end.
You battled mightily within your mind
were often lost inside your fantasies
needed help to return to reality.
You

Nigerian Libraries of Yesterday
Repositories of The British-Donated:
Of texts like bombs detonated;
Books from their libraries discharged;
The-Given-Out, not a dime charged …
A Harvest of The Happily Released
Because of The New that must be increased;
Books that have lost The Right to Remain There,
Better reasonably dumped elsewhere
Between The Hard paper Back
Like strong keys to hack
And The Partly Fragile of Skin
Whose sight

Released
eating your own heart
leaves no room for joy's desserts

once bound up, is now released:
there is forgiveness

Dark Lead Now Released Into the Day Light-
Have you ever danced before the light
Have you ever settled for peace instead of to fight
Have you ever done wrong and you should have done right
This is just a small short sight
You're about to fall but hold on hold on tight
For the life you change from the darkness to enter the lights
Shut in the darkness

Arrested, Captured, and Released
I was arrested by your soothing sounds of the sea.
No need to roam, I felt at home in the arms of your liberty.
My sealed lips will have nothing more I wish to say.
But presently, with these eyes, I will look away.
From my heart, in tears, I will turn away.

Politician Captured and Released
A local politico dropped by today,
To spread his vision along his way.
His view, to me, seemed a bit lacking.
I’ve seen his kind and results of their snacking
On what I’ve earned through time and work.
I’ve met only one who wasn’t a jerk,
So I shot him (with camera) and bid him farewell;
Where I left him behind I

I Released Her Into the Wind
We became friends before she lost herself
Growing up together, we loved many of the same things
As a young wife, in an abusive situation, she had reinvented herself
A fearful shadow, hypervigilant.
She had been opinionated and self-assured.
That person was dead; gone, buried, her ashes blown.
I offered to pay for her therapy. She smiled but did not
