Confined by the borders of your mind
Isolated with apprehensions
Life is merely a complexion of a dream
You'll never be truly awake.

ice coated fence posts

      punctuate the snowy trail…

          frosty whiffs of breath

We are winners 
even when losers -- 
God’s patterns,
Whole, holy and perfect -- 

Patterns even random
never exceeding Divine Borders --

dimensions align
need to apply the hand brake
way out of order
populace without borders …
used the virtue of vision.

Keep Out

Wall rises high, barrier of steel and stone
“Keep out,” it commands, “this land is our own”
Hope knows no borders, go back home

Tracking Santa

NORAD’s tracking 
Santa around the world.
The minute
The WOKE saint 
With a cookie crumbled 
Filthy beard
Crosses US borders
He’ll be ICE-ed.

Mind

Where are you now?
Are you in and among the crowd?
In a world in which I cannot follow?
Extradite to imaginary borders,
Where my thoughts finally unfurl.

flights break down borders leaving, returning sometimes we become exiles writers break physical bounds find old and new compatriots

What explains Trumpenstein’s command
That the U.S. borders expand?
His withered small shaft
Needs a bigger graft  
Of mastodon parts from Greenland

The Basenji

Airedale, king of the terriers 
Domain without borders or barriers 
Stubborn and proud
On alert, never cowed
Justly known for their cute little derrières

Premium Member rights come with borders

An act-as-they-wish guarantee
Leads brutes to think they’ll tread on me
But I too have rights
And might eschew fights
If backed by a fair referee

Other Worlds

What borders reality on all sides,
Are dimensions of other senses, 
Transcending these boundaries alters known reality,
To scare us back or draw us further.

Premium Member We Spit On Poe's Raven

We spit on Poe's raven
The crows and me
True blackbirds, living our truth
Eating corn ahead of the masses
Leaving nothing at borders
Glorying in our evilness

The Rebel's Dream

Building castles out of stardust--


and sprawling cities lit by starlight.


The arranger stands on
geometric borders-


unobtrusive to the rebel's dream.

Empty

Living in the nook
  Is never a curse.
Borders built of cash
  Never works for me;
As the empty pot 
  From the nook, I found
Not the nook
  Being empty is a curse.

A Female Butcher

A female butcher who knew few borders
By accident caused several disorders
When not looking behind her
She backed into her grinder
And got a little behind in her orders!

Death, Under the Radar

Drones,
Silent with
The gaze of a Peregrine
Falcon, that
Descends
Surely, swiftly,
Bringing death.
No trial by law,
Just obliteration.
And like the Peregrine,
It knows no borders.

Fire

fire,


Big and small fires flame
Burnt ‘scents’ fill outward borders
With cinder filled breezes
They who ‘touch’ a fire gets burned
Be very careful to confine!
